Abstract:

There has been an increased attention to sustainability in the society which has affected bothconsumers’ and investors’ behaviour. Consequently, companies are pressured to include CSR intheir businesses. Further, the media is quick to report when companies are acting sociallyirresponsible. For this reason it is of interest to investigate whether these news reports affectinvestors. One way to examine this is to study the stock price during such events. In addition, ithas been shown that women tend to value sustainability higher than men when consuming goodsand services. Hence, it is relevant to

Behavioural finance has been popular in the literature pertaining to investment behaviour in recent years. However, the number of applications for exploring individual investment behaviour in Hong Kong and mainland China are limited. This research investigates investor behaviour to identify the major determining factors influencing investor behaviour between Hong Kong and mainland China, and derive customers' investment preferences from the behavioural patterns identified. The approach developed generates two new models, namely PSYC Model and Financial Data Mining Model (FDMM). Data from 142,4

Abstract:

Green bonds are a type of bonds that are designated for investment projects that have a positive effect on the environment. Such projects could be preventing climate change by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases, increasing energy-efficiency, or improving waste management. Green bonds have risen considerably in issued volume in recent years. Sweden has been one of the forerunners in this development and the interest towards these products seems to be high among individual Swedish investors. Initially, investors in green bonds have been mainly financial institutions, but there are an increas

Abstract:

The period between 1688 and 1702 witnessed remarkable changes in the nature of public and private investment in England. From 1688 a host of joint-stock companies emerged, offering investors the opportunity to commit their capital to projects ranging from the manufacture of paper to the search for sunken treasure. Prompted by the exigencies of the Nine Years' War, the state also employed innovative tactics to attract money, it sold annuities, floated lottery schemes and authorised the incorporation of the Bank of England in 1694 and the New East India Company in 1698 on the condition that thos

Abstract:

Despite the many benefits that good governance brings to investors, academics contend that individual investors have no significant role to play in governance as it is economically unviable and too time consuming for them. On the other hand, regulators encourage and seem to expect individual investors to be governance interested, especially in exercising their ownership rights and making use of governance redress mechanisms whenever the need arises. Are such expectations of how these investors should behave at all reasonable? More importantly, there is anecdotal real-life evidence that at leas

Applying this modified benchmark to a sample of active funds and simulated passive portfolios that mimic fund manager style characteristics, statistically lower tracking error is documented, compared with using the standard methodology.

This dissertation considers two important issues relevant to the efficiency of institutional investment managers. It examines the trading behaviour of institutional equity funds in relation to investment style drift and dividend payments to assess whether trading is beneficial to investors in these funds. The analysis of investment style is relevant because of the prominence of multiple manager funds in Australia, while institutional investor preferences for dividend income will impact the after-tax return of fund investors.

Abstract:

Background: For the past 30 years, the neoclassical finance has been questioned bybehavioural finance. The main difference is behavioural finance ́s ability to explain a behaviour that deviate from rationality. One of the major biases within behavioural finance is overconfidence. Overconfident behaviour describes an investor with too strong belief in their own ability. This bias is not well-examined within behavioural finance in Sweden. The consequences of overconfidence are the investor ́s overvaluation skills which in turn leads to unnecessary risk-taking, excessive trading and economic loss

Prior to the coming into existence of Islamic finance, Islamic equity fund investment was almost non-existent in Malaysia.

Given that Islam constitutes the religious majority in Malaysia, expectations that the growth and development of IEFs are associated with individual religious norms, value orientations and ethical behaviour, ha

The 1980s has given rise to a new area of Finance, namely Behavioral Finance, which challenged the so far dominance of the Neoclassical Finance. Particularly, this new area introduced concepts from cognitive psychology in order to explain investors’ behavior at the collective level. Two of the most known faucets of collective investors’ behavior are herding and feedback trading. The first one is the phenomenon where investors copy the actions of the other investors, often disregarding their own beliefs, whereas the second one involves the chase of trends on behalf of the investors.

Research studies (such as Kiyilar and Acar, 2009) have supported that investors act in irrational ways in some of their investment decisions, and financial models have failed to explain the real investors' behaviour.

Abstract:

We examine investor behavior in the Norwegian equity market by studying two behavioral finance phenomena: The Disposition Effect and Herd behavior. Both utilize market data from Oslo Stock Exchange. This thesis will contribute to the existing literature on investor behavior by including evidence from Norway, characterized as a developed market. In the disposition effect paper, the methodology employed on the data examines the relationship between volume at a given point in time, and volume that took place in the past at different stock price levels. In the second paper focusing on herd behavio

It is difficult for investors to predict the timing and the size of the announcements. Thus, a number of literature argues that the announcements conveys new information to investors who possess few information. The previous evidence from the literature also shows that share repurchase announcements arise positive returns around the announcement day. On the other hand, institutional investors, in comparison to retail Investors, are believed to have information advantage. Thi

Abstract:

Text in English with abstracts in English, Sesotho and isiXhosa<br>The importance of investment information seeking cannot be overemphasised. Seeking information to support investment decision-making is a key component of every successful investment business. The literature review revealed that informed investors make greater use of accounting disclosures and non-earnings information in order to form more precise earnings expectations. By contrast, a lack of accurate investment information makes it difficult for investors to decide when to buy, hold or sell their investment. This study investi

Abstract:

A central topic in behavioural finance is extensive trading. One of the most common behav- ioural explanations for this phenomenon is overconfidence. In finance, overconfident traders feel that their information is sufficient to justify a trade even though it is not. Investors who consider themselves to be above average in their level of expertise show higher trading volumes. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the trading volume in the financial markets increased significantly. Further, young and inexperienced traders entered financial markets and volatility increased. Overconfidence could provide

Moreover, the Fed introduced quantitative easing policy at the end of 2008 to further stimulate the market stranded in liquidity trap. Under the Fed’s unconventional easy monetary policy, the U.S. economy had been gradually stepping out of the gloomy condition and began to thrive, and therefore the Fed called a halt to the quantitative easing policy at the end of 2013 and started to lessen its inter
