University of Cambridge Professor Colin Lizieri: Smarter Investment Decisions

Send us a Text 99% of real estate investors say the model tells the truth. But in practice, the data is messy. And the herd is loud. 3 weeks ago, I got to interview a real estate finance hero of mine: Colin Lizieri - Professor of Real Estate Finance At the university of Cambridge. And a global authority on how markets really price risk. In 20 minutes, we dug into: → Signal vs noise Why real estate data is so unreliable And quick checks to make sure your assumptions actually stack. → Herd-driven mispricing Real examples - pre-GFC, life sciences, “new paradigm” stories And how to tell if you’re investing on evidence or FOMO. → Bias in ICs How strong personalities bend models And simple fixes: written views before IC, a named devil’s advocate, And backtesting deals where you overruled the numbers. If you’re an institution or serious SME trying to avoid buying at the wrong price / wrong time this one’s worth a listen - link below. This episode is in association with (and thanks to) Lloyds.
