It is commonly assumed that you are a rational investor. A rational investor is one that considers all available information in deciding on how they invest their finances. While this is acceptable in financial markets, there are limitations in reality that affect your ability to access and interpret all available information. You may be limited by resources such as money, time, knowledge and sometimes you may be influenced by your background, values, interests and generally your attitude towards life. Your background, attitude, interests, and values shape your investor personality type.
It is important to be aware of your investor personality type to help you make better investment decisions. There are different types of investor personalities. For our purpose we will look at two investor types: those that are actively involved in creating or growing their own wealth and those that passively accumulate their wealth. The two types of personalities determine how careful, confident, anxious and impulsive you are in making investment decisions and how you react to investment gains and losses. As an investor, you need to identify and be aware of your level of confidence, anxiety, impulsiveness, and carefulness as they relate to how they can affect your investment decision and consequently how you react to investment gains and losses. Depending on where you are on the continuum of confidence or anxiety and impulsiveness or carefulness you can be any of the following investor personality types.

It is common to identify yourself with multiple investor personality types. As investment experts, Prudential will help you make the right investment decisions.
