Abstract

Human behaviours are very complex and even rational investors can succumb to pressures from behavioural aspects while making investment decisions [1]. Very common influencing behavioural aspects include overconfidence, loss aversion, anchoring etc.  Investors arrive at a decision after considering the results from all the alternative choices. The Classical financial theories suggest that investors arrive at the conclusion that decision-making processes of human beings include three points of view: social, cognitive and normative.

Positive are self-awareness, creativity, efficiency etc and negative could be redundancy, fear etc
