All experienced investment professionals know that success relies upon more than just quantitative analysis. Qualitative analysis is often times the difference-maker as most of your competition is working from the same data. In other words, successful investment management needs to move beyond analysis. To aid you in this endeavor CFA Institute packaged a series of webcasts featuring three speakers, each with a unique offering designed to help you improve your investment performance. Laura J. Rittenhouse of Rittenhouse Rankings demonstrates how important understanding executive candor is to choosing successful investments. Next, Dr. Ulrich Kirk discusses his globally “first-of-its-kind” neuroscience research that demonstrates how meditators are able to overcome the biases recorded by behavioral finance. Finally, Columbia University’s William Duggan discusses why intuition is the essential difference maker in business decision making.
