Desirable traits (6)
I believe the answer is:
assets
'desirable traits' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for assets that I've seen before include "Possessions of material value" , "Properties that have money value" , "One's valuable possessions" , "One's goods and property" , "Stance discouraging particular action" .)
