Besides offering instruction in financial black arts such as macroeconomics and quantitative analysis, the one-year course teaches students "soft skills" needed to forge relationships with demanding clients, including cross-cultural etiquette tips. "All the bankers want hard-charging types, but our successful students are more low-key and soft with people," says Wee, who today is CEO of the Wealth Management...
