Özet: Disposition bias (DB) is one of several behavioral biases in securities investment. It can be simply defined as investors’ tendency to sell winner positions at a faster rate and to keep losing positions at a longer rate. In this talk, we first describe the broad literature about the stock related, investor related and other reasons for the existence of DB. In what follows, we are going to present an empirical study that provides evidence about the disposition behavior of Turkish equity market investors. Defining original proxies about investor types, we construct various categories of investors based on trading frequency (frequently, occasionally, and infrequently trading), trading size (large, medium, and small) and status (male, female, and institutional). Our dataset encompasses all the intraday transactions of an exhaustive investor database (containing almost three hundred thousand investors who trade in Borsa Istanbul 30 Index stocks). We show that any type of investor is subject to DB, but some more than others. Moreover, a deeper analysis about investor subcategories (e.g., frequently trading female investors) shows that DB might be more related to trading frequency than investor size, a result which is new to the literature. In general, our evidence questions the rationality of stock market investors and theories relying on rationality.
