Behavioral Finance and Investor Types: Managing Behavior to Make Better Investment Decisions

Acknowledgments

I would like to acknowledge all my colleagues, both present and past, who have contributed to broadening my knowledge, not only in the topic of this book but also in wealth management in general. You know who you are. In particular, I would like thank my proofreader, Cristina Hensel, and her brother, Will Hensel, for their contributions to the book. Cristina was invaluable to the organization and structure of the book and contributed in so many ways to the book's overall quality. Will Hensel was instrumental in researching and helping to create the sections on Personality Theory and the History of Personality Types. I would also like to acknowledge my colleague, Jack Dwyer, who helped immensely on (read here: did a majority of the research for) Chapter 12, Capital Markets and Asset Classes. I would also like to acknowledge all of the behavioral finance academics and professionals who have inspired me with their brilliant work. Finally, I would like to thank my parents and extended family for giving me the support to write this book.
