Abstract

This research focuses on the influence of overconfidence and risk perception on investment decisions and advocate recommendations, as well as the ability of herding behaviour as a moderating variable at PT Phintraco Sekuritas Surabaya. Uses quantitative methods with 96 investor respondents whose data was collected through questionnaires. Research findings show that overconfidence and risk perception do not significantly influence investment decisions, whereas advocate recommendations do. Although herding behaviour is not a moderating variable, research indicates that it substantially affects investment decisions when treated as an independent variable. Investors tend to consider the decisions of other investors when making investment decisions, which influences the quality of their choices. Furthermore, predominantly students, novice investors often prioritize other investors' opinions and refrain from using personal analysis results to make investment decisions. This research can provide valuable insights to the Indonesian Stock Exchange and securities companies to continue providing intensive outreach on the importance of investment and offering investors training, workshops, and studies. The hope is that in the future, investors will become more informed and able to generate income from their investments. This can lead to investors no longer being afraid to invest because they feel they have sufficient knowledge and can make informed decisions. By encouraging an increase in people's income and increased capital for issuers, the economy can further develop
