If you're interested in how behavioural factors affect real-world financial outcomes this event is for you!
Join the Finance Society for a Behavioural Finance Seminar with Simon Warren FSTA FCCA, Fellow of the Society of Technical Analysts (STA).
This seminar examines how behavioural biases and market psychology influence investment decisions, risk management and long-term portfolio performance. Using real market examples, the session links behavioural finance theory with practical tools used by professionals, including technical analysis, trend indicators and rules-based decision frameworks.
Key themes include investor behaviour during bull and bear markets, managing risk and drawdowns, avoiding common cognitive biases, and why purely “buy and hold” strategies can fail under certain market conditions. The seminar also explores how behavioural finance principles apply to leadership, career decision-making and capital allocation over time.
This event is ideal for students interested in finance, investing, asset management, economics, accounting and leadership, and for anyone looking to understand how behavioural factors affect real-world financial outcomes.
