Abstract
Investor behaviour often deviates from logic and reason, and investors display many behaviour biases that influence their investment decision-making processes. What are the reasons investors behave as they do? A portfolio investor’s behaviour often deviates from logic and reason. Emotional processes, mental mistakes, and individual personality traits complicate tough investment decisions.
