What is 'confirmation bias' in the context of investment decision-making?

0% of students got this wrong

Confirmation bias causes investors to seek information that validates their existing view — e.g., only reading bullish reports on a stock they own. This can prevent timely exits from underperforming schemes. Distributors should present balanced information and encourage objective review of portfolio holdings.
