Abstract

An experimental study with a sample (N = 213, 49.8% male, 18-year-old or above) indicates that investment performance measures based on drawdown duration can capture investors’ preference when other investment measures focusing on risk-adjusted returns such as the Sharpe ratio fail to. Based on the result, the prevention-focused investors are found to be more sensitive to, and easily affected by the number of drawdown days than the promotion-focused investors. Performance measures based on drawdown duration can supplement traditional performance measures to capture investors’ preference.
