In terms of personality, there are lively and boring, but there are also some similarities.
The first is the ability to learn quickly. Fund analysts should do some macro, industry and company desk research, make models and do research on listed companies. All these require quick learning ability. For example, you may be assigned to the coal industry, but you didn't know this industry before, so you should learn from scratch. Quickly search for information and teach yourself, and do a good job of desk work.
Secondly, it is communication ability. Models usually have many assumptions. In order to make the hypothesis conform to the reality, we need to investigate with the company executives, which requires good communication skills to mine information. A researcher at BOC International wants to know what the cost of polysilicon is and what it is. That researcher is very good at turning open questions into right and wrong questions. For example, his inquiry routine may be like this: the cost of the whole industry seems to be around 60, are you greater than or less than 60? If the other party says it is less than 60, keep asking, not as low as 30. What about 50? The other party said almost, nothing. That is, if the sensitivity analysis shows that there is not much fluctuation around this value, then the communication here is ok.
Thirdly, it is the ability of logical thinking, independent thinking and expression. We should draw conclusions on the basis of independent thinking, express them logically and recommend them to fund managers. In addition, interpersonal skills are also very important. If you are familiar with the fund manager, he will accept your information faster.
