Jones A1 John Keefe YR 2014 UL https://pm-research.com/content/2/2/1.7.abstract AB Making Better (Investment) Decisions Robert C. Jones Author Bob Jones applies ideas from cognitive psychology and decision theory to investment management decision making to show how “ disaggregated judgment” can improve outcomes.“ People are good at observation, and noticing when things stick out as different, ” Jones notes. “What we’re not so good at is synthesizing diverse information together to reach a conclusion. Disaggregated judgment is designed to assure that you consider all the factors in a consistent way. ”The author, CIO at System Two Advisors , in Summit, New Jersey, also recommends that firms encourage less stressful environments and organizational structures that encourage the free exchange of ideas.TOPICS: Portfolio management/multi-asset allocation, in markets, risk management
