Standards of Satisfaction in Investing and Their Importance

One of the most dangerous emotions in investing is the 'lack of satisfaction.' Even after achieving sufficient results, the desire for more can cloud our judgment. This is not just a problem limited to investing; such emotions frequently appear in various areas of our lives, resulting in the risk of losing something valuable.

Setting Target Returns as a Safety Device

Many investors often do not set target returns and make decisions impulsively according to market trends. However, pre-establishing a target return serves as a safety device beyond mere greed. It helps suppress the desire to pursue more by considering the returns one wants in advance. Without a target, we tend to pursue infinitely more, which never leads to desirable outcomes.

GC's Principles and the Quality of Investment Decisions

GoldenCircle (GC) has principles in place to address these emotions. We recognize the issue of 'emotions outweighing reason at the moment of judgment' and emphasize the importance of clearly communicating the rationale to investors. GC sets the evaluation criterion not by returns but by 'Investment Decision Quality (IDQ)', supporting investors in making better decisions without being swayed by emotions. IDQ includes various factors to consider in the investment decision-making process, enabling a comprehensive assessment tailored to the investor's situation and goals. This allows for the setting of target returns and the adjustment of investment strategies accordingly.
