Jason Voss – Spot company deception and improve your returns
Thursday 12 October 2023 | 18:30 - 20:30 | Evening Event
Are you confident you can spot when a company is being deceptive?
98% of investment pros say that if a company is being deceptive about key issues it changes their opinion about investing in it. Yet, scientific research has shown that investment pros are very poor at detecting deceptiveness, with just a 39% success rate. Still other research shows that investment pros rate their ability to detect deception at 68%.
Jason Voss, CFA, author of Lie Detection Guide: Theory and Practice for Investment Professionals, points out that pros like him and you are flying blind when it comes to deception detection capabilities. Investment professionals report that the skill they lack formal training in the most is management interview techniques.
At this informal presentation and networking, Jason will provide some deception detection techniques that will give you the edge
