Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I am particularly interested in the investment management side of private wealth management. It is basically Asset Management but with client interaction and it requires strong investment management skills and good client handling skills.

My education and work experience has provided me with a thorough understanding of the technical skills required to be a private wealth manager. What I lack are strong inter personal skills, client handling skills, people skills, networking skills etc. The reason for doing an MBA now is to strengthen these skills, plus build a diverse professional network.

Also with almost five years of work experience, I feel that an MBA will be a more viable option that MiF.

What do you suggest?

Thanks for your time
