English term or phrase: biases and mental shortcuts
Der Begriff steht ganz am Ende:

The XXX investment process is based upon detailed analysis of fundamental company data. By combining fundamental knowledge with technology, XXX undertakes in-depth analysis of a company’s investment potential. Our systems analyse some 200 balance sheet and profit & loss statement items, for 19,000 stocks, to identify those companies which have the potential to generate superior future earnings in the near term and are currently undervalued relative to their peers. The risk model selects the combination of stocks that provides the highest potential return while closely matching the risk profile of the benchmark in terms of industry, size and other risk factors. This rigorous decision-making process is completely objective and is repeated time after time to remove **biases and mental shortcuts**.
