The Purpose of the Invesment Profession
If anyone who works in the finance industry (not applicable to the good work of the likes of micro-financing, am refering to mainstream, such as advisory, funds management, sell-side research) tells me that they believe they are working for the greater good, then they are honestly taking in their own spin.
Face it, guys, you and I, we’re here just to make money.
Spotted, page 129, CFA Program Curriculum, Vol 1, on the greater good of the investment profession:
“… A first greater good qualifying investment analysis as a profession is the promotion of fair and efficient capital markets. … A second broader good served by investments analysis is the clients’ financial well-being.”
Not one, but two greater goods.
Hi-la-rious.
