John - I have to say that I’m a bit disappointed on your comment. The CFA is one of the most highly regarded designations in the industry and one that prides itself on integrity and ethics. In fact, one of the professional standards of the CFA is Independence and Objectivity. Part of being objective is realizing your biases and adjusting your processes accordingly. It’s impossible to be objective if you can’t admit to your biases. To believe that outside forces like racism don’t have any impact on investing is quite frankly upsetting for me to hear and speaks to the larger issues in this country. I would urge you to reread the article with your own biases in mind and think about how they may impact your investing processes.
