At PIMCO, we are always striving to give our clients an edge and achieve the best possible outcomes. And, we’ve long believed that behavioral science can make us better investors and help our clients make better investment decisions. Why Behavioral Science Matters Classical economic theories assume that we make decisions in a rational manner.

Understanding these key concepts in behavioral science can help investors keep their emotions in check, make better decisions and achieve superior investment outcomes.
