Scientifically founded for real-world decision-making.


Scientifically founded
We are a team of highly trained professionals specialised in behavioural finance. As academics we are at the forefront of developing new ideas and innovative solutions. We have published several scientific articles in academic journals and books, and regularly present our research at academic conferences and workshops.

Real-world decision-making
Behavioural finance applies psychological findings to the study of the behaviour of real-world investors and financial practitioners. We apply behavioural finance to the development of concepts and tools which allow our clients to improve their understanding of real-world decision-makers. This includes their risk perception and preferences, and also decision-making mistakes which causes the so-called behaviour gap.
