"What Can be Done to Make Finance More Noble" suggests "ratings" of individuals and institutions be made public/accessible. Perhaps I'd change the wording but having listened to 1000+ people talk about their investment careers (I'm a search consultant) you may have reached a similar conclusion to ours: that these, in most cases, stellar people speak of their work with conviction, but one can often detect an underlying uneasiness about their contribution to investment performance, or, conversely, about the failure of employers or investors to consider them for one reason or another despite fairly consistent positive investment decisions.

The reality is that most people lack a credible record of their investment decisions independent of one employer, which is why we developed myinvestmentrecord.com. I believe it is a concrete (first) step toward making the profession "more noble."
