As the saying goes, without investigation, there is no right to speak, and practice is the only criterion for testing truth. However, there are no strict standards for everything. Perhaps for a wise person, a flash of light is more forward-looking than experience. Let's just say that we are a little wise and talk about what a fund manager should do in his mind. First, the reading range is wide. Reading has two purposes, one is to obtain information, and the other is to improve thinking ability. Extensive reading can form different thinking grids in our thinking, analyze and interpret problems with different thinking modes, and ensure the correctness and accuracy of seeing problems. So a qualified fund manager should read widely. History, literature, biology, physics, psychology, mathematics and philosophy are all reading materials. In fact, in life, reading people and reading things is a reading-living reading way, and thinking is indispensable in the process of reading. Second, the ability to identify and process information is strong. Faced with so much information every day, from all media and all levels of society, the amount of information even reaches thousands. In the face of complicated information, fund managers should not only widely accept it, but also identify the authenticity and gold content of the information. How to select useful information from piles of information, how to capture investment opportunities, how to distinguish objective facts from subjective prejudices, and how to restore their true colors from distorted information are all qualities that an excellent fund manager must possess. Third, proficient in accounting and finance. The financial level of the company is finally reflected in the financial statements. How to dig out useful information from those complicated figures, how to identify the true and objective degree of financial statements, and how to evaluate the company correctly are also one of the abilities that fund managers must have. Fourth, have the first-class ability to read research reports. Fund managers have to read a lot of research reports every day, not only to choose excellent research reports, but also to read out from the reports whether there are investment opportunities, which research reports are more objective and true, which have subjective deviations, which analysts have changed their views and which continue to maintain their ratings, and what are the deep-seated reasons behind these. 5. Have strict operational discipline and own investment style. A fund manager manages hundreds of millions of assets, which is related to the safety and income of investors' funds. Strict operational discipline must be established and strictly implemented. At the same time, investors decide whose fund to buy. The investment style of fund managers is very important, whether it is conservative, radical or flexible, what fields they are good at investing in and what their investment philosophy is. Only a unique investment style can bring investors the highest expected return, which is the "killer" to attract investors. In short, it is difficult to be a fund manager, and it is not easy to sit in the position of a fund manager. There are very high requirements for wisdom, character and even personal charm.
