Abstract
MALIK, Kaleem Ullah; MALIK, Muhammad Shaukat; IRFAN, Muhammad and MEHDI, Hussain. The Role of Heuristic Factors in Investment Performance: Exploring the Market Anomalies in a Volatile Environment. Apuntes del Cenes [online]. 2022, vol.41, n.73, pp.61-82. Epub Mar 04, 2023. ISSN 0120-3053. https://doi.org/10.19053/01203053.v41.n73.2022.13025.
The literature of heuristic factors and investment performance is less confirmatory. That is why it is quite important to explore and quantify the mediation mechanism of stock market anomalies in a volatile environment. For this research, the data were collected through a survey to stock investors who are actively involved in investing. The findings of this study show that heuristic factors, availability, conservatism, and illusion of control have a significant and positive direct relationship to investment performance. For heuristic factors like anchoring and gambler's fallacy, there has been an insignificant direct relationship to investment performance. While in indirect relationship to the investment performance, illusion of control and conservatism generate both fundamental and technical anomalies in the market, and they affect the investment performance via technical and fundamental anomalies. Anchoring bias, availability bias and gambler fallacy do not generate both technical and fundamental anomalies in market. Fundamental and technical anomalies have a significant and positive relationship to investment performance.
