Learning Objective

  • To explore some of the recent research on loss aversion by leaders in the field.
  • To examine how and when losses are a normal and appropriate part of an investment portfolio.
  • To consider the relationship between losses and diversification.
  • To learn some coping mechanisms for accepting investment losses and explaining them productively to clients.

Course Overview

This course is valid up to December 31st, 2023 for CFP Professionals. It is advisable to complete this course before that to process the credit on time.

Of the many fascinating human traits that behavioral economists study, one of the few that has been quantified is our loss aversion.

We hate losing just about twice as much as we like winning. And yet, the loss is a part of life, and it’s an important - even a necessary - part of a sensible investment strategy.

Key topics Covered: 

  • What is Behavioral Finance?
  • What is Loss Aversion?
  • Related Concepts: The Endowment Effect, The Sunk Cost Fallacy, and Paralysis
  • Why can too much Loss Aversion be a Problem?
  • Mitigations: How can we manage this?

In this CPE Finance Webinar, we’ll look at some of the important concepts of loss aversion and its impact on investment strategy.
