Wealth Management Managing Directors

Experience, Skills, and Personality Traits

At least 10 years of management and investment experience and a proven track record of generating new business are required to work as a managing director.

Leadership skills are extremely important for managing directors because they must inspire their staff to meet performance goals and set an example of professionalism that permeates their firm—from the vice presidents who report to them to analysts straight out of college. They also must be strategic and analytical thinkers; have excellent communication, customer service, and sales skills; possess expertise regarding financial planning concepts (including comprehensive knowledge of their firm’s products and services); and have good organizational, problem-solving, and time-management skills.
