How you behave determines how you invest

Famous 19th century American poet, Emily Dickinson, once said, “Behaviour is what a man does, not what he thinks, feels, or believes”. It is this notion that pervades throughout human history as our actions determine our outcomes, which are ultimately driven by our behaviour. When it comes to seemingly analytical and objective financial decisions like how to invest your money, behaviour tends to come at a price.
