Answer 1

This is a very relevant step if your goal is being portfolio manager. Basically you would be analyzing how successful other portfolio managers were. Most funds are portfolios of different assets, stocks, bonds, fixed income, whatever it may be.

The work is long and hard but very lucrative. But if you are being recruitered for this you should already know all of that.
