Behavioral Finance: Applying Lessons to Asset Management

Date, Time, and Location:
Wednesday, May 15, 2019 (add this event to your Outlook Calendar)
11:30 am – 1:00 pm
The Chicago Club, 81 E. Van Buren Street, Chicago, IL  60605   (Driving Directions)

Program Description:
Many finance industry professionals are generally familiar with the principle findings of Behavioral Finance. Most have heard of Confirmation Bias, the tendency to seek data that supports one’s beliefs; or Loss Aversion, the well-documented habit of overweighting the possibility of loss versus a similar probability of even larger gain. But if the general teachings of Behavioral Finance are well accepted, there is far less agreement about best practices to combat these tendencies, even those which lead to suboptimal decision making. In his presentation “Combating Unhealthy Behavioral Tendencies in an Investment Firm” Charlie Bobrinskoy, Vice Chairman and Head of Investment Group for Ariel Investments, will discuss how Ariel has adjusted its investment process to incorporate the latest academic findings in the field of Behavioral Economics, and how these process improvements have helped Ariel’s flagship Mutual Fund, The Ariel Fund, become number #1 in its category over the last 10 years.
