Oxford Risk launches ‘The Art of behavioural Investing’ course

9 June 2025

Oxford Risk has launched The Art of behavioural Investing, a course aimed at increasing financial literacy and supporting investor outcomes.

The course has been designed in collaboration with professional learning platform 42Courses. The CPD-certified online course is a resource for advisers and financial institutions looking to support their clients’ behavioural journey.

Led by Dr Greg B Davies, Head of Behavioural Finance at Oxford Risk, the course gives firms a practical, scalable way to support clients through the emotional journey of investing — from getting invested, to staying invested, to avoiding reactive mistakes under pressure.

The course includes:

  • 35 short, practical lessons with CPD certification
  • Tools for building emotional confidence in clients
  • A framework for helping clients create their own Investing Constitution
  • Techniques including pre-commitment strategies, Play Pots, pause points, and portfolio framing
  • Interview insights from Carl Richards, Daniel Crosby, and other global experts in behavioural finance

The content is built around ‘four golden rules’, the company says:  Create a Safety Net, Put the Rest to Work, Diversify, and Leave It Alone. This, it adds, helps support firms in meeting regulatory obligations while improving long-term outcomes for clients.

Oxford Risk says the course is ‘ideal for’:

  • Adviser onboarding and professional development
  • Boosting client financial literacy
  • Re-engaging cash clients
  • Strengthening suitability and advice frameworks
