My primary goal is to effectively communicate our thesis on the industry and evaluate the relative positioning of the individual companies within the group so that our sales force can present this information to their institutional clients. Overall, I typically receive a great deal of satisfaction when I can make a difference and enable our sales force to add value to their client base.
