CORPFIN 6010OL - Understanding SMSF Trustees

The subject aims to develop advisers' knowledge and skills in behavioural finance and how this affects the decision making process of SMSF Trustees. Students will examine the central tenets from the field of behavioural finance, particularly those findings that provide insights into psychological influences in investment decision-making. Investors’ decisions are influenced by a range of factors, some of which operate beyond conscious awareness and may result in measurable, systematic biases in investment decisions. As one of three core subjects in this qualification, students will have the opportunity to develop their academic writing and research skills.
