CFA Society Chicago Professional Developement invites everyone to please join us for a presentation with writing expert, Scott Wentworth, CEO from Wentworth Financial Writing
Portfolio managers, analysts, and other investment professionals can enhance the returns of their writing efforts by following a disciplined, repeatable process. Being able to succinctly articulate an investment thesis is a critical skill for portfolio managers, analysts, product specialists, and other CFA charterholders. But for many investment professionals, turning their ideas into white papers, blogs, client letters, or even emails can be an inefficient, time-consuming, or frustrating exercise.
In this interactive session, veteran financial writer Scott Wentworth will explain how investment professionals can improve their writing skills by doing something that already comes naturally to them: following a process. Scott will explain the steps of the process that he and other professional writers use and discuss how “non-writers” can apply these principles to whatever forms of writing they encounter in their jobs.
What you will learn:
- Develop an efficient writing process that fits their personal style and job requirements
- Incorporate elements of journalism and storytelling into their written communications
- Use “writing hacks” to avoid common pitfalls
- Develop a compelling story around their investment thesis
- Eliminate the fear of staring at a blank screen
