What is 'overconfidence bias' in the context of mutual fund investing?

0% of students got this wrong

EXPLANATION

Overconfidence bias leads investors to believe they can consistently pick the best funds or time market entries/exits better than they actually can. This results in frequent scheme switches (churning), attempts to time markets, and dismissal of professional advice. Research consistently shows that investors who trade less and stay invested longer earn better returns.
