This mainly aim for recruiters and fund managers

Hi

I would like to be a fund manager as soon as possible, but I’m not sure where to start. I know what I am asking may not be an easy task, but I would greatly appreciate it if you guys can help me out.

I would like to know

  1. where do I begin before I get to being a fund manager? (I read entry level for equity research is research associate then equity analyst and finally portfolio manager… did I miss anything?)

  2. and what skills and qualities are you looking for and are critical for each of the positions (rseearch associate, equity analyst, and portfolio manager)?

The links are not exactly what I was looking for. Nonetheless, very insightful… along with the rest of your uploads.

I will watch the rest of the videos later on. Thanks for sharing.
