Seed Weekly - Fear and Greed
Fear and greed are unfortunately the two emotions which drive most investor’s behaviour. My job as a Financial Advisor is to try and dilute this unhealthy situation by adding a good measure of rational thinking. Unfortunately the more fear or greed we experience, the more rational our arguments will appear to ourselves.
One of the most common mistakes that people make is greed. This happens when we look at the Sunday papers and we see last year’s best performing fund. The average investor’s immediate reaction is “I need a bit of that action; I need to get into that fund as quickly as possible”. Obviously, in a years’ time that fund is not going to be the best performing unit trust and now you want to “get out of that fund as quickly as possible and move to the next year’s best performing fund”. I have often used the statement that “only using past performance to select funds is like driving whilst only looking in your rear view mirror, it is going to cause an accident”.
I am constantly amazed at how otherwise rational people (Engineers and Accountants especially), can forget three or even five years of good performance and will suddenly start panicking and want to move everything into cash as soon as the market has moved sideways for a year or two. (My previous cash is king article expands on this).
Financial planning is exactly what it says, you need to have a plan and you need to stick to it, chopping and changing the whole time will only lead to heartache. “Panic sellers” will always wait too long for their greed to override their fear and can never time their market re-entrance. They will always lose out on the biggest upswings after the bottom.
If your fund has a 3 year benchmark, then measure it over three years. It is pointless selecting funds with a five year time horizon in mind and then changing those funds because of one year’s underperformance. If nothing has changed with the underlying Manager, mandate, process etc. and you are wanting to switch managers because of short term underperformance, you seriously need to relook at your fund selection process.
The importance of having a financial plan which incorporates your needs, goals, time frames and special circumstances cannot be over-emphasized. Your financial plan is what keeps your decisions within a rational framework and negates the negative impact of fear and greed.
Kind regards,
