Practitioners’ Insights: Investing Wisdom from a Library of Mistakes

  1. Kuntal Shah

Investing expertise is often built through proven concepts and best-in-class practical strategies. Learning from mistakes is the unexplored road for building expertise. The costlier way to learn is to commit mistakes, pay the price for the same, try to reflect and avoid subsequent ones. This, one does all the time: commit mistakes and then make an effort to reflect and avoid. A much easier approach is to avoid these follies through learning from the wrong path others have taken. This webinar will cover a range of common investing mistakes. We will also discuss uncommon observations on both forced and unforced errors in professional money management. While one reads about successful investors and their processes and strategies, one can’t ignore the tremendous wisdom and learning from common and uncommon mistakes inherent in the process. From accounting shenanigans to being caught in a bubble vortex, valuation errors, and bouncing back from a period of underperformance, this webinar seeks to highlight and lay a framework to create awareness about typical mistakes and ways to navigate pitfalls.

Learning outcomes:

1. Learn about common mistakes – past and present

2. Understand frameworks to identify mistakes by sidestepping them
