Is CFA enough for Asset Management?

[bchadwick]

I guess the inner circle of having someone shelling out $20k per year for job ads (or maybe some other info more important than that).

Much of my job now is in AM. I am soon interviewing with Marsh in an AM of pension fund role.

I would say CFA is indeed important as I see them in many postings I have come across.

That is the funniest sh!t I have read in a long while on here, thanks for that!

have you guys even taken a look at the fRM? that stuff is about managing risk. a portfolio manager must understand risk and how to mitigate or control it. FRM is definitely important though the designation itself may not be. however, the knowledge to be acquired through the FRM is essential. whether you get it on your own or through the course is irrelevant.

I sent you an email, but the address was returned as a failure. It's [email protected], right?

Thanks

yeah. it you post your email I'll send you my thoughts tonight.

most of my comments are based on stuff I've heard around the office.

I'm not sure why that happened.

I would say it is not 100% necessary, but really really useful...especially if you want to get out of middle office (which is where I am currently stuck).
