Investment skills for tomorrow? I suggest that the 28.8% strong minority cited above will rule the day. The softer skills of building and maintaining trusting relationships with clients and colleagues, the ability to listen to genuinely understand and not just to respond, are lost but essential skills. Every wealth manager whether personal or institutional must master an understanding of human behavior. The fundamentals, technical knowledge, and algorithms are known, followed, and dissected almost as quickly as they are implemented. Soft skills, including those mentioned by Mr. McRitchie will set the investment manager apart from her commoditized competitors. Take a look at the work of Jason Voss @TheIntuitInvest.
