In your experience as a Portfolio Administrator, what causes you the most stress?

"While overall market volatility does stress out a lot of Portfolio Administrators, I have a good way of explaining this volatility to my clients so it doesn't stress me out. I usually put stress on myself by having very high expectations for my work with clients. To alleviate this stress, I've learned over time that the goals and expectations I put on my work have to be realistic and attainable."

"In reality, our work as Portfolio Managers for our clients is almost like trying to do the impossible. We are relied upon to make sound decisions for clients based on insufficient information, all while trying to maintain confidence in our decisions. That is a daily stressor on the job that I don't take lightly. To cope with this daily stress, I've learned to accept mistakes as they happen, own up to them with clients, and work hard to alleviate those mistakes to put my clients back in the best position possible."
