11 What is behavioral finance? Theory: Behavioral finance is the study of how psychology impacts the financial decision making process Implications: By better understanding investor behavior, it is possible to identify and capitalize on emotion driven market anomalies 10

12 The origins of human irrationality.. Emotion (primitive brain*) Logic (analytic brain*) * The emotional part of brain is driven by the limbic system, while the logical part is called the cerebral cortex 11

13 Theory of Behavioral Finance Nobel Prize Winner Daniel Kahneman the first non-economics major to win a Nobel Prize in Economics in 2002 Validation that emotion can effect the financial decision making process Prospect Theory Investors feel the pain of a loss, 2-3 times as much as they confer a benefit from a gain Human emotions impact the decision making process! 12

14 Fair Value vs. Irrational Value Greed Fair value Valuation Current Value Fear I will tell you how to become rich. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful. - Warren Buffett Time 13

15 Common pitfalls Overconfidence Anchoring Representativeness Confirmation bias ADD bias Herd mentality 14

16 Overconfidence Overestimating or exaggerating one's ability to successfully perform a particular task 81% of new business owners think their business has at least a 70% chance of success, but only 39% think any business identical to theirs would likely succeed 68% of lawyers in civil cases believe their side will prevail 80% of students think they will finish in the top half of their class Analysts are over-confident in their earnings estimates of companies they like, however, their estimates are revised 2x more frequently in the second half of the year to play catch up to reality Ask yourself: What am I missing?

17 Anchoring Human tendency to rely too heavily, or "anchor," on historical data when making decisions Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL-US) Surprise History - EPS Estimate Range Actual Apple s stock performance since 2004 provides an example of Behavioural Finance anomalies (Anchoring/Overconfidence) where analysts under react to new information when revising forecasts Apple launched the ipod in 2002, selling 400,000 units that year. Sales in 2003 were 900,000 followed by 4.5m in 2004 and 22m units in 2005 Analysts were slow to catch onto the new product momentum as evident from the earnings surprise chart, providing significant outperformance for Apple stockholders in 2003, 2004 and 2005 We identified Apple as an attractive stock due to positive earnings revisions and improving price momentum in 2004 Follow the data /03 12/03 3/04 6/04 9/04 12/04 3/05 6/05 9/05 Data Source: IDC / Exshare Apple Computer Inc. (AAPL-US) Daily from 30-Sep-2003 to 30-Dec-2005 U.S. Dollar (Split / Spin-off - Adjusted) Apple 49% Apple 49% S&P 26% S&P 26% Apple 201% Apple 201% S&P 9% S&P 9% High: Low: 9.85 Last: Apple Apple 123% 123% 60 S&P S&P 3% 3% 50 9/03 12/03 3/04 6/04 9/04 12/04 3/05 6/05 9/05 12/ Data Source: IDC / Exshare The above security is shown for illustrative purposes only. It is not to be interpreted as a recommendation to buy or sell. 16

18 Representativeness Representativeness involves looking at a small data set and extrapolating information to draw erroneous conclusions Macy s completed a series of acquisitions in 2005 which materially impacted their balance sheet Write-downs and depreciation related to these acquisitions impacted earnings per share measures This did not influence cash flows where Macy s presented an attractive value A good company is not necessarily a good stock For illustrative purposes only The inclusion of the securities mentioned above is not to be interpreted as recommendations to buy or sell. 17

19 Confirmation bias People tend to favor information that confirms their preconceptions or hypotheses regardless of whether the information is true Look and thoroughly consider disconfirming evidence 18

20 ADD bias Focusing on the short term can be counterproductive A month can feel like an eternity Don t stare at the Bloomberg screen all day Create alerts to major stock moves 19

21 Herd mentality Human tendency for individuals to mimic the actions (rational or irrational) of a larger group Most often occurs due to a fear of being unconventionally wrong People think being a contrarian is riskier to your career Contrarian investment ideas never feel good 20

22 Tips to combat the influence of emotion Identify your investment philosophy & process and stick with it Write down your rules Actively seek out contrary opinions Admit and learn from mistakes (Learn lessons from your mistakes but don t obsess) Investing is not a game where the guy with the 160 IQ beats the guy with the 130 IQ Once you have ordinary intelligence, what you need is the temperament to control the urges that get other people into trouble in investing. -Warren Buffett 21

24 Value investing why it works Behavioral Finance Anomaly Cheap stocks outperform expensive ones Value, Relative return Attractive valuation Expensive valuation Behavior Investors are overly optimistic about past winners, and overly pessimistic about past losers Theories Over-confidence/over-pessimism Representativeness References De Bondt, W. & Thaler, R. (1985). Does the Stock Market Overreact? Journal of Finance, 40, Lakonishok, J., Shleifer, A. & Vishny, R.W.

The information contained herein employs proprietary projections of expected returns as well as estimates of their future volatility. The relative relationships and forecasts contained herein are based upon proprietary research and are developed through analysis of historical data and capital markets theory. These estimates have certain inherent limitations, and unlike an actual performance record, they do not reflect actual trading, liquidity constraints, fees or other costs. References to future net returns are not promises or even estimates of actual returns a client portfolio may achieve. The forecasts contained herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be relied upon as advice or interpreted as a recommendation. There can be no assurance that the professionals currently employed by JPMAM will continue to be employed by JPMAM or that the past performance or success of any such professional serves as an indicator of such professional s future performance or success. There is no assurance that behavioral finance strategies will protect against the loss of capital. Equity Risks: The strategy is subject to management risk and may not achieve its objective if the adviser s expectations regarding particular securities or markets are not met. The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably. These price movements may result from factors affecting individual companies, sectors or industries selected for a portfolio or the securities market as a whole, such as changes in economic or political conditions. When the value of a portfolio s securities goes down, your investment will decreases in value. The manager may use derivatives in connection with its investment strategies. Derivatives may be riskier than other types of investments because they may be more sensitive to changes in economic or market conditions than other types of investments and could result in losses that significantly exceed the strategy s original investments. Certain derivatives may give rise to a form of leverage. As a result, the strategy may be more volatile than if the strategy had not been leveraged because the leverage tends to exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of the portfolio s securities. Derivatives are also subject to the risk that changes in the value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. The use of derivatives for hedging or risk management purposes or to increase income or gain may not be successful, resulting in losses to a portfolio, and the cost of such strategies may reduce a portfolio s returns. Derivatives would also expose a portfolio to the credit risk of the derivative counterparty. In cases where performance results are presented gross of investment management fees. The deduction of an advisory fee reduces an investor s return. Actual account performance will vary depending on individual portfolio security selection and the applicable fee schedule. Fees are available upon request. Illustration showing impact of investment management fees: An investment of USD $1,000,000 under the management of JPMFAM achieves a 10% compounded gross annual return for 10 years. If a management fee of 0.75% of average assets under management were charged per year for the 10 year period, the annual return would be 9.25% and the value of assets would be USD $2,422,225 net of fees, compared with USD $2,593,742 gross of fees. Therefore, the investment management fee, and any other expenses incurred in the management of the portfolio, will reduce the client s return.

Small- and mid-capitalization portfolios typically carry more risk than stock funds investing in well-established blue-chip companies because smaller companies generally have a higher risk of failure. Historically, smaller companies stock has experienced a greater degree of market volatility than the average stock.

The price of equity securities may rise or fall because of changes in the broad market or changes in a company s financial condition, sometimes rapidly or unpredictably.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. Please note current performance may be higher or lower than the performance data shown. Please note that investments in foreign markets are subject to special currency, political, and economic risks. Exchange rates may cause the value of underlying overseas investments to go down or up. Investments in emerging markets may be more volatile than other markets and the risk to your capital is therefore greater. Also, the economic and political situations may be more volatile than in established economies and these may adversely influence the value of investments made. Performance results are gross of investment management fees. The deduction of an advisory fee reduces an investor s return. Actual account performance will vary depending on individual portfolio security selection and the applicable fee schedule. Fees are available upon request. The following is an example of the effect of compounded advisory fees over a period of time on the value of a client s portfolio: A portfolio with a beginning value of $100 million, gaining an annual return of 10% per annum would grow to $259 million after 10 years, assuming no fees have been paid out. Conversely, a portfolio with a beginning value of $100 million, gaining an annual return of 10% per annum, but paying a fee of 1% per annum, would only grow to $235 million after 10 years. The annualized returns over the 10 year time period are 10.00% (gross of fees) and 8.91% (net of fees). If the fee in the above example was 0.25% per annum, the portfolio would grow to $253 million after 10 years and return 9.73% net of fees. The fees were calculated on a monthly basis, which shows the maximum effect of compounding.
