Avaliando questionários de risco e o comportamento do investidor sobre a ótica de behavioral finance

Resumo

Financial risk tolerance is assumed to be a fundamental issue underlying a number of financial decisions. For this reason, researchers have long been interested in understanding the relationship between personal financial risk tolerance and factors as diverse as life cycle and asset allocation decisions. The risk questionnaire is therefore one of the instruments available, but there are few, if any, generally recognized instruments designed to ascertain someone’s financial risk tolerance or preference. This paper objective is to evaluate three risk assessment questionnaires from different institutions but with a behavioral finance focus. The behavioral finance perspective show us the psychological aspects of the investor that arise when people form beliefs and preferences. By knowing how the investor behaves, the financial consultant may try to educate and bring the investor back to a rational portfolio decision. The modern theory of finance also highlights that investors preferences – in particular impatience and aversion to risk – do influence optimal portfolios. Having that in mind, on of the roles of the financial consultant is to understand how investors forms their preferences, so they may help investors making optimal portfolio decisions in the long run.
