Endowment Effect Assessment
The endowment effect is a cognitive bias where individuals value items they own more highly than identical items they do not own. This bias can influence investment decisions, leading investors to hold onto assets that are performing poorly or demand an excessively high price when selling, potentially hindering optimal portfolio management.
Consider if your emotional connection or ownership is causing you to deviate from objective financial decisions. Regular re-evaluation of your assets as if you were purchasing them new can help mitigate this bias.
