Thanks for sharing and it is an inspiring story.
Your hubby is probably on the quantitative portfolio management side. Asset or portfolio management was not the hottest spot to jump right in for the up & comers but that is changing very fast.
Prop trading is out of the door, largely. IB and fee and flow businesses are not the same as before. The business that can weather the storm is asset and wealth management where steady fees and relatively less intense capital makes it high on Return on Equity. With Obama's re-election and 800 pounds of Grilla of all kinds of regulations in sight, portfolio management is actually a good place to be when the cloud is dark and storming is lingering....
Good luck and happy investing....
