Your Own Worst Enemy II - Present Bias

This has obvious investment implications, especially when saving and investing for retirement. In this paper, we explain this “present bias” and why Nebo is particularly well-suited to helping advisors address it with their clients.

In this paper, we explore how framing, nudges and re-biasing can influence answers to questions, and how at the philosophical heart of Nebo is a focus on the importance of asking the right questions.
