About Wakako Ueshima

I believe that understanding how we think, act, and why is at the core of successful financial services and that the study of culture through English Literature is my greatest asset in this field. With a focus on Creative Writing, I am an effective communicator, passionate about bringing change through financial services by leveraging my interpersonal skills to best serve the greater goals, passions, and dreams of clients. Innovative and imaginative, I thrive in leadership positions where I can materialize my ambitions. Being bilingual, I am used to bridging gaps and bringing people together as a compassionate and inclusive team member. Growing up in New York City has taught me to adapt to ever-changing environments and circumstances, but to never sacrifice my goals; I am persistent and assured, ready to tackle any challenge from multiple perspectives with an instinct to dissect questions in their entire complexity. My academic, professional, and personal experiences have all pushed me to better understand the world and its individuals.Interests Include: Investment solutions, equity research, hedge fund management, asset and wealth management, financial law, argumentation, creative writing, music, visual art.
