A conversation on investing skill and the behaviors that shape investment outcomes
BALTIMORE, June 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What can investors learn from stronger decision-making habits, including the role of discipline, self-awareness, and maintaining an explicit process?
In the latest episode of “The Angle from T. Rowe Price” titled “The Loser’s Game: Lawrence Evans on Skill, Bias, and Better Decisions,” Justin Thomson, head of the T. Rowe Price Investment Institute, speaks with Lawrence Evans, founder of Salomon Partners and an investment coach who works with professional investors and investment teams to develop better decision-making.
“Lawrence offers a thoughtful perspective on what may separate stronger investors from the rest; not short-term results, but the discipline of process, the ability to recognize bias, and the commitment to continuous practice,” says Thomson. “For investors, this episode highlights how better decision-making can be developed over time, and what it really means to be a skilled investor.”
Key topics covered in this episode include:
- How Evans defines investment skill and why near-term returns may be an incomplete measure of it.
- Why self-awareness, explicit discipline, and process may be more important than innate talent in investing.
- Which behavioral biases most often affect investment decisions, particularly when exiting positions.
- How AI may improve knowledge acquisition and pattern recognition, but human judgment and competence remain essential.
Episodes of “The Angle” are available across multiple platforms, including Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Future episodes will be announced as they are produced. For more information on the podcast please click here.
