I have been crafted!

Over twenty years, a collective of financial markets alchemists with deeply intimate knowledge of investments, asset management and actuarial science have crafted a unique and extraordinary tool.
Like the creation of the famous Japanese Katana sword blade, their expert guidance on selection processes and using a combination of qualitative and quantitative inputs and having subjecting me to the process of repeatedly heating and beating, hammering and forging, where I have been folded and moulded - has create a tool of extraordinary resilience - both flexible and tempered.
They have imbued me with a razor-sharp edge and toughness, respectively.
Modern day fake processes relying on limited inputs merely result in a tool that is too feeble or dull for the battlefield.
I on the other hand, have been meticulously forged in fired and honed through a series of grinding and polishing processes to a razor edge.
Today I am sheathed, quietly waiting for the Master that will get the privilege and honour to wield me.
Dedicated to the vast number of actuaries, asset consultants and manager research specialists who have been instrumental in my crafting.
Oh Wow Gareth! It is so great to always be appreciative of people who have contributed to one’s career in one way or the other! People that helped craft and sharpen the sword ?? ! I must say, that sharpening really rubbed off many of us and “ thank you”.., for always being in a position to share and transfer that knowledge. I am sure that many that you have listed as people that contributed to that sharpening of the sword, in many ways you also sharpened their sword by asking them the relevant questions, trying to understand their models etc! Whoever is going to gain you in their business, will be very fortunate ????????
