Regret Aversion
Regret aversion is a behavioral tendency in which investors avoid decisions that could lead to future regret, often resulting in inaction or maintaining the status quo. It reflects the desire to minimize potential emotional discomfort from wrong choices rather than optimizing outcomes.
Example: An investor contemplates reallocating funds from a declining sector to a broader index, but delays the move to avoid the possibility of regret if the sector recovers less than expected.
