  We show that the results for the soft couplings in supersymmetric gauge
theories recently derived via the superconformal anomaly are equivalent to
results obtained earlier from a consideration of exact RG-invariant
trajectories. We give a full proof of these results for a general
multi-coupling theory. Moreover, we demonstrate the existence of a distinct
finite RG-invariant solution for the soft couplings in the case when the
unbroken supersymmetric theory is finite.
