The Relevance of Psychology in the Selection and Monitoring of External Portfolio Managers

Dr. Adrian Furnham, Principal Adviser on Behavioural Psychology at Stamford Associates, will discuss three areas of psychology relevant to Portfolio Manager appraisal and monitoring – Behavioural Economics and Behavioural Finance, Organisational Psychology, and Differential Psychology – and how to apply these in a practical manner. In today’s “working from home” environments, the effectiveness of these techniques will also be discussed.
