The Power of the Crowd - Live Experiment
17:15 - 18:00
17:15 - 18:00
Private and professional investors have limited capacity to process financial information. They take biased investment decisions due to their emotions, convictions, and own interests. This becomes evident by the poor performance of investment funds compared to their benchmarks. Instead of counting on indiciual perspectives we want to illustrate the power of collective intelligence to you. The success of ETFs is a prime example for the potential of the power of the crowd. Informunity executed a 12-year study on "Evolutionary Collective Intelligence" in the financial market and will share impressive insights about decisions from more than 50.000 virtual investors.
