About
Renowned Israeli-American psychologist Daniel Kahneman long ago recognized that people are hardly “rational actors” when managing their money. Instead, he concluded that predictable biases and behavioral tendencies exert outsized influence over decision making. With investors today drenched in data and financial information, overconfidence is all too common, even among those insisting they possess clear-eyed judgment. In his latest book, Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment, the former Nobel Prize winner in Economic Sciences argues that to make better decisions investors must embrace a multitude of independent perspectives to reduce the misleading information that often arises from group judgments. Join Daniel and Beverly Goodman, Editorial Director of Investing and Asset Management at Barron’s, as they discuss ways that advisors can help clients understand the importance of "noise" and how to ensure that it does not interfere with client goals being achieved.
