Investment Process
Partnering with behavioral finance experts, we integrate best practices throughout our investment process to improve collective and individual decision-making, amplify risk management, and publish behavioral insights.

Improving Collective Decision Making
We seek to improve collective decision-making by combating groupthink –the range of biases amplified in group contexts – in our Secular and Cyclical Forums, Investment Committee, and Regional Portfolio Committees.
Amplifying Risk Management
Amplifying risk management is a critical component of our behavioral science mindset. We’ve employed behavioral analytics and decision dashboards to help improve entry and exit discipline and ease biases like the disposition effect & home bias.
Refining Individual Decision Making
Refining individual decision-making and mitigating the host of behavioral biases that can challenge even the smartest investors is also a key strategy; we’ve put robust structures and guardrails in place, such as pre-mortem checklists.
