Narrow framing
People tend to consider each decision as unique
Ignore the interactions among multiple decisions
Traditional portfolio choice model
Investors formulate their trading decisions my maximizing expected utility defined over their total wealth
Opposite psychological research
Disposition effect and its relationship with narrow framing
Disposition effect = inv are reluctant to realise losses (risk-seeking) and prefer to sell winners (certain gain)
NF sensitice to performanxe of individual stock instead of overall portfolio -> Low Trade clustering -> higher DE: higher propensity to sell w (certain gain) and keep l ( risk-seeking)
Portfolio diversification and narrow framing
They examine risk of individual stocks ( don’t pay attention to stock correlations) and therefore don’t diversify - some stocks only appear attractive when used in diversification
BF make simultaneous trading decisions - high DV
Proxy framing
Trade clustering - simultaneous decision making
2 interpretations Disposition Eff
- Ppl are unconsciously using NF
- Ppl are consciously using BF - hedonic optimizers = utility combined outcome > utility segregated outcome
Portfolio level thinking
Framing and performance relationship
BF are better positioned to examine risk portfolio -> higher risk-adjusted performance
Why control for portfolio size and TPY
PGR = proportion realized gains / losses
Both measures are smaller for portfolios that are larger and trade more frequent. The not impact results on DE => ATC
DE
Investors are reluctant to realize losses but willing to sell winners
