Who writes this

Kenneth Goh. I work in wealth management advising high-net-worth clients and write about behavioral finance on LinkedIn, where I am a Top Voice.

I studied behavioral finance at Manchester Business School. My thesis examined 203 Singaporean investors and found that loss aversion, mental accounting, and overconfidence consistently drove poor investment decisions, even among experienced investors.

I have watched these patterns repeat for years. People hold losing positions too long. They avoid realizing losses even when it makes rational sense to move on. They look at each investment in isolation instead of seeing the portfolio as a whole.

This newsletter is where I go deeper than social media allows. Practical frameworks you can use when you are stuck on hard decisions.
