A Practitioner's Guide to Applying Behavioural Finance
Behavioural investing seeks to bridge the gap between psychologyand investing. All too many investors are unaware of the mental
pitfalls that await them. Even once we are aware of our biases, we
must recognise that knowledge does not equal behaviour. The
solution lies is designing and adopting an investment process that
is at least partially robust to behavioural decision-making errors.

Applying Behavioural Finance explores the biases we face, the
way in which they show up in the investment process, and urges
readers to adopt an empirically based sceptical approach to
investing. This book is unique in combining insights from the field
of applied psychology with a through understanding of the
investment problem. The content is practitioner focused throughout
and will be essential reading for any investment professional
looking to improve their investing behaviour to maximise returns.

- The only book to cover the applications of behavioural
finance - An executive summary for every chapter with key points
