Evidence limits: Adjacent research, not a directly sampled family-office study. Applicability to a family office requires separate assessment. This research has some limitations. The main limitation is related to the short study period. The behavior of an investor is influenced by political and economic conditions in addition to cognitive biases. However, the short study period did not permit us to analyze the effects of such conditions. Second, due to COVID-19, this study was conducted in metropolitan areas of developing economies. Third, this study was conducted using survey questionnaires, which are associated with several general problems. For example, respondents may be hesitant and provide biased responses, which could affect the results.
