Discipline Beats Market Noise with Angel Zhong
About this episode
Professor Angel Zhong discusses investor behaviour and strategies for making smarter financial decisions.
Professor Angel Zhong, RMIT's award-winning finance professor and LinkedIn Top Voice, reveals what her groundbreaking research on investor behaviour tells us about making smarter financial decisions. From tracking the "Corona generation" of 500,000 new Australian investors during COVID to exposing how fin-fluencers exploit psychological biases, Angel breaks down the gap between what investors should do and what they actually do. She shares her own Melbourne property portfolio strategy, explains why ASIC banned unlicensed financial advice in 2022, and warns about the dangerous overlap between gambling behaviour and stock market speculation. Learn why discipline trumps education, how to cut through market noise with data, and why treating investments like research projects—not emotional decisions—is the key to long-term wealth building.
