Behavioural Finance for Investment Decisions

Apply Below
Loading Information

Acquire the tools and frameworks you need to make better financial and investment decisions to build profitable and sustainable investment portfolios while capitalising on dysfunctional markets, volatility and uncertainty.

This programme gives you the psychological, neuroscientific and behavioural economics tools to see reason within market chaos and to leverage the rules and protocols for identifying solid investment opportunities. As increased levels of volatility and uncertainty cause market distortions, irrational investment decision-making prevails. You need to be able to grapple with the causes of such critical developments, to ensure that investment portfolios remain robust. With traditional forecasting and prediction models no longer applicable, you are required to go beyond the narrow fields of economics and finance to navigate the 'new normal': a fast-changing and increasingly complex global economic environment. 

What to expect on the programme:

In addition to formal lecturing as means to develop understanding of the programme material, delegates can expect group and individual participation, debate and discussion. This hugely interactive programme is complemented by guest speakers.
