Eddie Perkin, CFA: How to Outthink Investment Biases

Sep 15, 2026

Eddie Perkin, CFA, former chief investment officer at Eaton Vance and Goldman Sachs Asset Management, joins host Mike Wallberg, CFA, to explore how investors can counter the biases that undermine sound decisions. Drawing on his book, Running Against the Herd, Perkin explains how zero-based portfolio reviews can loosen investors’ attachment to holdings, why a sound process matters more than any single outcome, and how blind votes and junior-first feedback can prevent groupthink. He also shares lessons on productive conflict, long-term compounding, and building teams that challenge assumptions. Listen to discover practical ways to make better investment decisions — individually and collectively.
