#14 Dan Kemp - Using Behavioral Finance to Make Better Investment Decisions
06/01/17 • 63 min
Dan Kemp is the Chief Investment Officer for the EMEA region at Morningstar Investment Management. Dan has a very interesting background. For instance, he holds a BA in Theology at Kings College in London - we spend quite a bit of time talking about how his non-business background has helped him in his investment career. Prior to joining Morningstar Investment Management, he was a Founder and Partner at Albemarle Street Partners, an investment advisory firm that assists advisors in client risk profiling, fund research, portfolio construction and asset allocation. Prior to that, he was a Multi-Asset Fund of Funds manager at Saltus Partners.
We touch on a wide range of topics such as how to prevent buying at a high and selling at a low, the importance of having an investment process in place that allows for other team members to poke holes at your ideas, while at the same time avoiding Groupthink. Dan was also kind enough to share some of his productivity tricks, what he looks for when hiring a candidate for a job, his favorite behavioral finance books, and much more.
As always, make sure you share the podcast with anyone you think might benefit from the information. And don’t forget to leave us a 5-Star review on iTunes!
