T. Rowe Price Investment Institute head Justin Thomson decodes investing psychology with renowned expert Herman Brodie

BALTIMORE, May 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- T. Rowe Price, a global investment management firm and a leader in retirement, announced the latest episode of "The Angle," an investment-themed podcast focused on timely topics shaping financial markets.

In "Decoding Behavioral Finance: An interview with Herman Brodie," T. Rowe Price Investment Institute head Justin Thomson delves into topics such as the impact of human behavioral biases on investment decisions, why investment losses are perceived with more intensity than gains, and the most common mistakes that investors make. His guest is noted expert, educator, and author Herman Brodie, the founder of Prospecta Limited, a UK-based consultancy that advises businesses on the use of behavioral sciences research. Brodie is also the author of "The Trust Mandate: The behavioral science behind how asset managers really win and keep clients."

"In this podcast, Herman tells us how remarkably easy it is for investors to be influenced by psychological factors that allow us to lose focus in our efforts to maximize investment outcomes," said Thomson. "His insights into how our 'humanness,' as he describes it, shed light on age-old questions that are invaluable for both seasoned and novice investors. This was a fascinating conversation that I hope will provide listeners with a deeper understanding of how behavioral science can be harnessed for better investment decision making."

This special episode highlights the mission of the T. Rowe Price Investment Institute to enhance the firm's investment talent development and strengthen the delivery of T. Rowe Price's proprietary investment insights to clients.
