A person looking in a mirror or a face split into two halves — one confident/successful, the other stressed/disappointed.

Understanding Self-Attribution Bias

Understanding self-attribution bias is key to improving financial decision-making. This bias leads us to credit success to our own skills while blaming failure on external factors. While it can protect self-esteem, it may also prevent learning from mistakes. In finance, this can result in overconfidence and missed opportunities. Becoming aware of this bias helps investors and advisers make more objective, data-driven decisions.

Risk Warnings.

Capital is at risk. The value and income from investments can go down as well as up and are not guaranteed. An investor may get back significantly less than they invest. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future performance and should not be the sole factor considered when selecting portfolios. Investments may include emerging market, smaller company and commodity funds which may be higher risk than other asset classes. Investments in fixed interest funds are subject to market and credit risk and will be impacted by changes in interest rates. Changes in exchange rates may affect the value of the underlying investments. Investments in Property funds carry specific risks relating to liquidity. Property funds can go through periods, known as ‘gating’, when it may not be possible to trade in or out of the funds and to access your money during such periods. The portfolios may invest a large part of their assets in funds for which investment decisions are made independently of the portfolios. If these investment managers perform poorly, the value of the portfolios is likely to be adversely affected. Investment in funds may also lead to additional fees arising from holding these funds.
