Influence of Personality Traits on Delegated Investment Performance: Mediating Role of Soft Factors
2025
Overview
The delegated investments are a special instance of fiduciary relationships that may be influenced by various personal and behavioral aspects of investment professionals. For this reason, this study investigates the conditional impact of big five personality traits on the performance of investment professionals. Respondents included 248 investment professionals selected through a judgmental sampling technique with 94% being male within age range of 20 to 40 years. Responses were acquired on questionnaires that cover the aspects of personality traits (adopted from Mayfield et al., 2008); soft factors (adopted from Ali, 2011; Baumer, 2020; Deventer & Mlambo, 2009; Helm, 2007; Sultana et al., 2017; Saudi, 2014), investment decisions (adopted from Ahmad, 2021) and investment performance in delegated investments (adopted from Fairbank et al., 2006). Findings revealed significant mediating effects of agreeableness on the long-term investment decisions and the performance of investment professionals in Pakistan. In addition, soft factors mediated between the relationship of personality traits and the performance of investment professionals observed. Results of the study contribute to literature related to behavioral finance and provide valuable insights for investors while deciding to delegate their investments to professionals. The novelty in our work is the relationship between personality traits and investment decisions tested in the context of delegated investments with mediating effects of soft factors.
