Measuring Cognitive Diversity in Investment Teams

Capital markets are increasingly complex to assess. Investment management has turned into uncertainty management. This requires an entrepreneurial mindset to assess markets better than others. At the same time our industry has been mandated by society to redeploy capital towards making SDGs achievable, by reducing greenhouse gas emissions (net zero) in a socially and economically empowering way. This mandate meets industry usances of slow adaptability, defensive decision-making, and low-risk literacy. A behaviorally optimized investment process is the way to go.

We are living in an age of hyper-complexity & hyper-competition. Learning to master the mindset while integrating AI in an ethical and sustainable way, is key for meeting investment objectives today. In short, investment professionals need to optimise all influencing factors to their advantage, just like professional athletes do.
