Investing: The Evidence – Part 5

15 January 2018

Part 5 of this short documentary series, ‘Investing: The Evidence’, talks about how investors’ behaviour is a huge factor in determining success. Humans are naturally hard-wired to make bad investment decisions, and self-awareness and preparation are crucial in order to prevent yourself from reacting to crises in ways you might regret. There is no point in educating yourself in all the best investment techniques or strategies in the world, only to panic and sell your investments when the market is collapsing.

GYC Perspectives

Markets are often irrational. Even among experts, forecasting does not consistently work. We instead believe in Evidence-Based Investing (EBI), which uses decades of empirical data and the greatest ideas in financial science to optimise investment outcomes. No market predictions, no forecasts, no emotions. All those things rely on gut-feel and intuition that cannot be consistently replicated.

Here, we share with you the evidence on why EBI works and why forecasting doesn't, as well as articles on topics such as behavioural finance to help you become better investors. New here? You can start with this introduction to EBI. Happy reading!
