Enterprise series: Understanding investor behaviour in uncertain times

Periods of market volatility can prompt uncertainty, emotional decision‑making and costly knee‑jerk reactions. Investors may lose out on long-term returns and lose time and money focussing on reacting rather than consistent decision making. In this session, we’ll step back from headlines and technical investment detail to focus on what really influences investor behaviour during turbulent times.

Join David Painter as he explores the common behavioural traps that can undermine long‑term outcomes, demonstrating why discipline and perspective matter more than market timing. Drawing on behavioural finance principles and real‑world examples, the session will provide practical insight into how successful investors stay on course when markets are noisy.

This session is designed for individuals, business owners and senior leaders who want to understand:

• Why market volatility is normal
• Why reacting to market changes can be damaging
• The emotional drivers behind poor investment decisions
• The importance of long‑term thinking over short‑term market movements
• How professional advice can help remove emotion from financial decisions
