During the Milken Institute Global Conference, KKR cofounders George Roberts and Henry Kravis emphasized the importance of 'softer skills' and relationship building for young investors. They noted that while young professionals possess strong analytical skills, they often hesitate to engage in networking due to fear of rejection. Roberts encouraged emotional intelligence and proactivity in meeting people, while Kravis highlighted the essential nature of risk-taking in the investment field. The duo reflected on their own early experiences in the industry and lamented the lack of engagement seen in today's young investors.
"It's really the softer skills I try to encourage young people to do."
"You've got to be willing to take risks," Kravis added, saying some younger investors struggle to pull the trigger.
