“Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.” – Zig Ziglar
“Anchoring” is a term used to describe the common tendency to rely too heavily—or “anchor”—on just one piece of information when making decisions. The bias comes into play when an individual fails to appropriately adjust to any new information because they are anchored to an original reference point. Coaching clients to find a balance between healthy amounts of both optimism and pessimism may be challenging, but providing the right level of support can help clients become more self-aware of their behavior and subconscious tendencies, and improve their financial decision-making. We’ll be discussing:
- How anchoring bias and human tendency influence investor behavior relative to financial planning, decision-making, and outcomes
- Qualities of Optimistic and Pessimistic investors and how those qualities play out in their financial journey
- Adjusting your client- approach based on known biases
