88. The Psychology of Index Investing

It's No Secret

In this episode, we're joined by an expert guest - Cam Irvine.

Cam brings extensive experience from the financial services industry, having worked for one of the most successful mutual fund managers in the US before becoming a highly qualified NZ financial planner.

Specializing in working with ex-pats and those with significant property-based wealth, Cam is a passionate advocate for data-driven investing.

Today, he's here to do a deep dive into index investing with a focus more on the psychology aspect. Specifically, we'll explore:

• Ingrained human behaviours that influence our investment decisions
• Why people often overestimate their ability to outperform the market
• The characteristics of the best and worst types of investors
• Distinguishing between luck and skill in investing
• How index investing frees up a crucial asset: time
