Talent, passion and innovation are the lifeblood of the financial advice business. We wanted to recognize those who carry that lifeblood in their veins.
Camas, WA (PRWEB) December 19, 2016
InvestmentNews announced it named Ken Fisher as one of its 2016 Icons and Innovators. Based on his accomplishments, a spirit of innovation, passion, and a commitment to advancing the profession of financial advice, Ken Fisher was selected as one of 18 innovators for the inaugural list: http://www.investmentnews.com/section/icons-and-innovators/2016/profile/15/Ken-Fisher
Speaking about his approach to innovation, Ken said, “My father taught me when I was young to think in terms of others about ‘What are you doing your competitors aren’t doing yet?’, which I turned around and applied to myself.” He continued, “A primary feature in my brain has always been the question ‘What can you fathom others find unfathomable?’, and every form of analysis I’ve ever done has been predicated on how everyone else does something and then looking for a different way.”
Ken Fisher is featured along with the other Icons and Innovators in the Dec. 19 issue of InvestmentNews.
"Talent, passion and innovation are the lifeblood of the financial advice business,” said Frederick P. Gabriel Jr., editor of InvestmentNews. “We wanted to recognize those who carry that lifeblood in their veins. So, we asked ourselves: Who has shaped the advice industry most? Who are the big thinkers, the folks who have carried the profession forward on the shoulders of their ideas?”
With the help of readers, the reporters and editors picked two icons and 18 innovators.
Ken Fisher will be honored at an awards luncheon on April 3 in New York City.
