At Stoic, we invest your assets as stoically as possible. This could easily be called "emotionless investing." Emotionless investing only truly succeeds when we deeply understand the emotions that play a major role in investing. Because only by understanding the enemy can we defeat it. That's why we recently launched a study on human emotions and investing in collaboration with Respondenten.nl.
To be fair, we also do this to generate a bit of publicity. We wouldn't be exactly stoic if we didn't dare to openly and honestly state the underlying facts, would we? Here we go. Anyway, over 1,000 people have now completed the questionnaire. This guarantees the validity of the research, allowing us to share the results with the press. Click on the titles below and discover how emotions and investing always go hand in hand, but that transcending your emotions is ultimately always better for your returns.
