Study Notes
Ethical Standards
- Individuals with ethical principles tend to be more disciplined and attentive to their investments.
- They follow norms, which helps in building long-term wealth.
- Taking shortcuts can derail the investment process and set back existing efforts.
Risk Profiling
- Risk profilers evaluate an investor's risk appetite to avoid selling mutual fund schemes with higher risk than they can handle.
- Three factors are evaluated:
- The need to take risks (to reach investment goals).
- The ability to take risks (financial ability and investment horizon).
- The willingness to take risks (psychological capacity).
Biases
- Biases can lead to making investment decisions based on recent events rather than analysis.
- Examples of biases include:
- Recency bias (overestimating the importance of recent events).
- Overconfidence bias (overestimating one's abilities).
Investor Behavior
- Behavior patterns are influenced by personal factors, such as being a spender, saver, or investor.
- Behavioral tests can help determine an individual's personality type to guide investment decisions.
- Investors' interests should align with their financial goals.
Financial Goals
- Financial objectives are personal goals that require financial investments, such as:
- Shalini's education.
- Surinder Singh's buying a house.
- Mrs. D'Souza's retirement income.
- Rabindra's comfortable life in retirement.
- Investing must start with a clear understanding of the purpose of investment (i.e., "why").
- The "why" defines the financial goal, guiding investment decisions.
