Finding the right asset manager is like a king searching for his general. It makes all the difference.

Asset managers are advisors who have the aptitude, resources and experience to make investment decisions that suit the personal financial goals of their clients. As trusted partners, asset managers are entrusted the responsibility to make intelligent decisions that will ultimately grow their clients\u2019 wealth. It is akin to a king who works alongside his best Generals and Ministers; what the king can accomplish on his own, he can achieve in multifold with the right partners.

While there are universal qualities that would make an effective asset manager, here we have split these traits into two types. Quantitative traits, which refer to the precise technical knowledge and experience acquired by a manager; and qualitative traits, which we refer to as soft skills, such as communication and interpersonal skills.

<\/p>\r\n

Quantitative Traits<\/h3>\r\n
    \r\n
  1. Financial expertise: Someone who can conduct sound financial analysis, spot value and avoid pitfalls.

    <\/li>\r\n
  2. Mathematical acumen: Able to make sense of numbers and deliver real absolute returns.

    <\/li>\r\n
  3. Market understanding: Able to separate fact from fictionfiction and analyse information without bias. A good asset manager is ssceptical and perceptive, always questioning and confirming.

    <\/li>\r\n
  4. Well-compensated \/ of sound financial standing: This may come across as surprising to some. However, we believe that it is reasonable to remunerate an asset manager fairly to eliminate conflict of interest and promote best behaviour.

    <\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    Qualitative Traits<\/h3>\r\n

    Also referred to as \u2018soft skills\u2019, qualitative traits are just as important, if not more important, that quantitative traits in an asset manager. These are qualities that are innate and demonstrate the true mark of a person. In a people-centric industry like asset management, these are qualities you would want in your asset manager.

    <\/p>\r\n

      \r\n
    1. Display a willingness to learn: Someone who can realise mistakes and correct them. A person who shows a strong desire to learn from others at every stage of their life.

      <\/li>\r\n
    2. Able to deliver hard truths: As an advisor to a client, there may be occasions where one will have to be the bearer of bad news or hard truths. A good asset manager does not only say what the client wants to hear, but what they need to hear.

      <\/li>\r\n
    3. Courage to assume responsibility of an investment decision: It is important to have conviction in your investment decisions, especially when it is a difficult one.

      <\/li>\r\n
    4. Display\u202f\u4eba\u60c5\u5473, (literally, human warmth and touch): Be able to foster a long-term relationship that is real and all-weather.

      <\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

      We conclude with a quote from Lao Tzu\u2019s \u201cTao Te Ching\u201d, Chapter 8. A classic Chinese text that encapsulates the art of investing, the importance of selecting the right people, and the qualities that make the best man.

      \u4e0a\u5584\u82e5\u6c34\u3002\u202fThe best of man is like water.

      \u6c34\u5584\u5229\u4e07\u7269\u800c\u4e0d\u4e89\uff0c\u202fWater greatly benefits all things, without conflict.

      \u5904\u4f17\u4eba\u4e4b\u6240\u6076\uff0c\u6545\u51e0\u4e8e\u9053\u3002\u202fIt flows through places that people loathe, hence, it is close to the Way.

      \u5c45\u5584\u5730\uff1b\u202fA good dwelling is on the ground.

      \u5fc3\u5584\u6e0a\uff1b\u202fA good mind is deep.

      \u4e0e\u5584\u4ec1\uff1b\u202fA good gift is kind.

      \u8a00\u5584\u4fe1\u202f: A good word is sincere.

      \u653f\u5584\u6cbb\uff1b\u202fA good ruler is just.

      \u4e8b\u5584\u80fd\uff1b\u202fA good worker is able.

      \u52a8\u5584\u65f6\u3002\u202fA good deed is timely.

      \u592b\u552f\u4e0d\u4e89\uff0c\u6545\u65e0\u5c24\u3002Where there is no conflict, there is no fault.<\/p>\r\n
