Each module is designed to effectively build your skills, enabling you to quickly master behavioural finance skills.
This module introduces the origins and key concepts of behavioural finance, in contrast to traditional finance. Participants will discover how economic decisions are influenced by psychological, emotional and social factors. Through concrete cases and scientific studies, they will understand why economic actors are not always rational, and how these deviations affect markets.
In this module, participants will explore the main cognitive biases that affect financial decisions, such as loss aversion, overconfidence, the disposition effect and confirmation bias. Each bias will be illustrated with examples from the financial markets or everyday life. The aim is to better recognise these biases in oneself and others, in order to limit their impact on investment decisions.
This module focuses on decision-making mechanisms in situations of uncertainty, stress or volatility. It offers practical tools for improving reasoning and discipline as an investor, advisor or manager. Participants will learn how to structure their choices, assess risks more objectively and adopt a systematic and rigorous approach.
This module links the concepts covered to their practical application. Whether in portfolio management, financial advice, financial product sales or client communication, participants will learn how to integrate behavioural finance principles into their professional practices. Role-playing exercises and practical case studies will reinforce what they have learned.
