Description

Are you your own worst investing enemy?


In this episode, Paul and William explore the surprising ways investor behaviour - more than market performance or stock selection - can hurt long-term returns.


From caveman instincts to market headlines that trigger emotional decisions, this episode will help you understand:

• Why you're wired to react emotionally—and how that costs you.

• How major events like COVID-19 and the Ukraine / Russia war triggered poor investor timing.

• The top 3 behavioural biases investors fall victim to.

• Simple, proven strategies to close the “behaviour gap” and stay on track.
