EDUCATION

Behavioral Science in Investing: Making Better Decisions Amid Uncertainty

Investing extends beyond data and models to reflect how people think, judge, and act. Decisions are shaped by how uncertainty is interpreted and how risk and reward are assessed in real time.

Apply insights from behavioral science to improve consistency and decision quality in uncertain market conditions.

Key Topics:

• How behavioral science informs investment decision-making
• Navigating risk, uncertainty, and human bias
• The value of diverse perspectives in improving outcomes

Bring your questions and network with industry peers over refreshments following the discussion.

Guests are invited to learn more about 100 Women in Finance here and join as a new member here.
