The first, which Kahneman calls \u201csystem 1 thinking\u201d or \u201cfast thinking,\u201d uses intuition and emotion (the \u201cgut\u201d) to evaluate information and make decisions. The primary advantage of system 1 thinking is speed, and it serves us well when it comes to survival. We don\u2019t have time to sit around and logically weigh the costs and benefits of a particular course of action when we\u2019re being pursued by a tiger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">\u201cSystem 2 thinking\u201d (slow thinking), on the other hand, is rational, linear, abstract and comprehensive. System 2 thinking is also hard work. Too often, we take the easy way out and rely on the biases and automatic thinking of system 1 to feed information to system 2. The result is faster, but it can lead to flawed decision-making.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"title-text pp-primary-title\" style=\"background-color: transparent;   font-weight: 600;\">How does fast and slow thinking<\/span><span style=\"background-color: transparent;   font-weight: 600;\">&nbsp;<\/span><span class=\"title-text pp-secondary-title\" style=\"background-color: transparent;   font-weight: 600;\">apply to investment management?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">When it comes to investments, many people believe that they\u2019re making rational, carefully considered choices. The consequences of investment decisions are just too important to leave them to fast, biased, overly emotional system 1 thinking, so we must be using system 2 thinking. Right?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Instead of consulting credible sources, gathering all the evidence, weighing it and making impartial choices that we believe will lead to the highest financial gain, we often make our investment decisions based on shortcuts, biases and feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">This is true of individual investors who are buying and selling stocks and ETFs or giving direction to their financial advisors. It also applies to investment committees who must evaluate the results achieved by their advisors. And it sometimes applies to the advisors themselves, unless they have the proper processes in place to prevent it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Portfolio managers\u2014who are held to the highest standards in the financial industry\u2014understand that using system 1 thinking is a risk in investing. They guard against it by following a rigorous investment process that relies on quantifiable data and can be replicated. This helps to ensure that historic results provide some insight into how the manager\u2019s strategy may perform in the future and reduces the chance of biases hurting your results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;   font-weight: 600;\">5 biases that are hurting your investment decisions<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">There are a number of mental shortcuts or rules of thumb (psychologists call them \u201cheuristics\u201d) that our system 1 brains use to make our decision-making faster and easier. If you make financial decisions, you\u2019d be wise to know them well, recognize the signs that you\u2019re using them and know what information to use instead. We cover five of the biases in this article, and&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"\"><a href=\"\/5-more-investment-biases\" rel=\" noopener\" style=\"\"><strong>five more biases<\/strong><\/a><\/span><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"> in part two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;  font-weight: 600; \">Availability bias: The most easily recalled information is the most relevant<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Also called the \u201crecency bias,\u201d this shortcut uses the examples that spring to mind most quickly to judge whether information is important or something is likely to happen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">The most easily recalled examples are often the most recent. For example, you could be relying on a news story that just broke or a financial article you just read to guide a financial decision. Easily recalled examples are also often the most emotionally powerful. Did you have an elaborate daydream about making big gains on an as-yet unpurchased investment? Did you experience real-life losses during a market downturn? Both conjure up strong feelings, and can influence your decision-making.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Signs<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><strong>:<\/strong> You\u2019re allowing yourself to be swayed by just-released information, especially \u201cbreaking news\u201d from 24\/7 news outlets. You make decisions based on emotional personal experiences.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">What to do about it:<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"> Dig deeper. While you shouldn\u2019t discount the information and experiences that pop to mind first, do the hard work of seeing them in the context of other information that may not be so top-of-mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;   font-weight: 600;\">Representativeness bias: Things that seem similar must be related<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">This shortcut, called the \u201crepresentativeness bias,\u201d assumes that two things that seem like they belong together are causally or statistically related. For example, you could assume that a company that makes high quality clothing would also be a high quality investment, even though the quality of a company\u2019s product may have very little to do with its value in your portfolio. Or you could assume that a stock whose value has declined for 10 days won\u2019t continue to decline further, so you should hold onto it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Signs<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><strong>:<\/strong> You\u2019re making investment decisions based on stereotypes and assumed relationships between things rather than statistical probability.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">What to do about it<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><strong>:<\/strong> Know the basics of statistics (or hire a portfolio manager who does) so you can more accurately determine the probability of something. Be on the lookout for evidence that goes against your stereotypes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;   font-weight: 600;\">Affect bias: Things that make you feel good are good (and things that make you feel bad are bad)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">This heuristic is called the \u201caffect bias.\u201d Humans want to keep associating with things that make us feel good and avoid things that make us feel bad. When it comes to a mother\u2019s love (good feeling) or a tiger\u2019s roar (bad feeling), this bias is helpful. When it comes to investment decisions, however, it\u2019s not a reliable way to judge value. It\u2019s no coincidence that morning sunshine is associated with positive stock returns\u2014people feel good when the sun shines, which influences their perception of risk. But sunshine isn\u2019t a good reason to take a risk, is it?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Signs<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><strong>:<\/strong> You\u2019re making investment decisions based on how you feel about a company, sector or country rather than on factual information. You consider risk to be lower at times when you feel good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">What to do about it<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><strong>:<\/strong> Be wary of \u201cthe buzz\u201d around an investment and instead look for objective evidence of risk and benefit. Ask yourself how you feel about an investment opportunity and consider whether those positive or negative feelings are influencing your decisions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;   font-weight: 600;\">Overconfidence bias: You overestimate your abilities<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Pride comes before a fall, but that doesn\u2019t seem to stop many of us from hitting the ground hard, time after time. That\u2019s because of the \u201coverconfidence bias,\u201d which is responsible for our belief that we\u2019re better than our peers. This belief leads us to overestimate our abilities and underestimate risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Signs<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><strong>:<\/strong> You trust yourself more than anyone else. You\u2019re often surprised by the results of your decisions. You believe you\u2019ll make money, if for no other reason than you\u2019re the one in control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">What to do about it<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><strong>:<\/strong> Seek out information and advice from others whose education and experience make them more qualified than you to recommend a course of action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;   font-weight: 600;\">Hindsight bias: Hindsight is 20\/20<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i class=\"pp-accordion-button-icon pp-accordion-close fa fa-minus\" style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><\/i><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">The hindsight bias explains our tendency to believe that a past event was entirely predictable simply because we already know the outcome. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">This bias comes from our discomfort with randomness and uncertainty. We don\u2019t like the idea that the future is unpredictable, so we pretend we can tell what will happen because we know what happened before. Anyone involved in financial decision-making knows the past isn\u2019t a reliable predictor of the future, but thanks to the hindsight bias, somewhere deep down we wish it was\u2014and this can make us overconfident in our ability to predict the market or pick winners.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Signs<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><strong>:<\/strong> You find yourself explaining events in the past, such as a market downturn, rebound or correction, as if you knew it was going to happen, even though you didn\u2019t actually take action on that intuition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">What to do about it<\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><strong>:<\/strong> Recognize that it\u2019s human to dislike uncertainty. Pay attention when you predict future outcomes based on what happened before. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Let\u2019s recap the main points we\u2019ve covered. First, humans have two ways of thinking: fast and slow. Fast thinking, which is reactive, uses mental short cuts to speed things up. We rely on information that\u2019s top of mind (availability bias); make connections between things that aren\u2019t necessarily related (representativeness bias); mix up feelings with facts (affect bias); think we\u2019re better than we actually are (overconfidence bias); and assume we can predict the future simply because we know what happened in the past (hindsight bias). Unfortunately, these biases can affect the quality of your important decisions, including the what, when, where, why and how of your investments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">If you\u2019re interested in learning five more biases that could be hurting your financial decision-making and what to do about them,&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"\"><a href=\"\/5-more-investment-biases\" rel=\" noopener\" style=\"\"><strong>read part 2<\/strong><\/a><\/span><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 10px;\"><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"\">We&#8217;d love to help you get the most from your retirement. <\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/span><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><\/span><\/span><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"\"><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">{{cta(&#8216;3d8f5cc0-11c2-4e05-aef2-39147bacd013&#8217;)}}<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":172,"template":"","resources-categories":[20],"resources-type":[7],"class_list":["post-940","resources","type-resources","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","resources-categories-wealth-planning","resources-type-blog-post"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>5 ways fast thinking is hurting your investments - Weichel &amp; Associates - Bellwether Family Wealth<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bellvest.ca\/family-wealth-peterborough\/resources\/fast-thinking-hurts-investments\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"5 ways fast thinking is hurting your investments\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Nobel prize-winning economist Daniel Kahneman published his best-selling book&nbsp;Thinking Fast and Slow&nbsp;in 2011.
