Many incumbents entering into the wealth and investment management industry find themselves grappling with an unexpected adversary – impostor syndrome. Entering into an industry built on tradition and expertise, the weight of self-doubt can cast a shadow over their confidence. However, it is the entrance of new, diverse voices and ideas that holds the key to the industry's evolution. Making a conscious effort to embrace these different voices and ways of thinking isn't just an act of inclusivity; it's a strategic imperative that has the power to reshape the landscape of wealth management for the better.
