Most Cushy Asset Management Jobs?
What are the most cushy Asset Management jobs other than pension/endowment funds? Somewhere you can work 9-6ish, go home, study for the CFA® , and make the switch to a more stressful job when you have the credentials you want? Pension/endowment funds sound perfect but from what I heard, most people stick around for a very long time.
Not that I'm necessarily lazy, I've just been thinking about how much it would suck to work 75+ hours per week and study for the CFA® at the same time. We are only in our early 20's once.
Asset management at an insurer (in most cases). Pay's lower than traditional AM, but still decent.
But I'm not sure why it makes sense to target these firms specifically. If you get a good AM job now, why bother with the CFA exams?
I think that there are a lot of these types of jobs, you just have to pay attention to the job boards of the large asset managers. I'm currently working in AM doing credit research for a money market fund and only work 8-6 (at the latest). While I do not get to look at the most exciting companies or due any exotic analyses due to regs, I get a decent amount of exposure to modeling and analysis and will be able to have the time to study for my CFA next summer.
I plan on taking the CFA to: A) Learn more about the tedious, yet imperative aspects of finance and to beef up my "technical" skills which segues into B) Enhance my resume as my school has very little finance credibility or rigour (even for a liberal arts school).
Most endowments are very laid back although that type of role generally revolves around thinking about asset allocation and manager evaluation more than modeling out a security's value. You could also work for an investment consultant ie Callan, Milliman, etc. A lot of long-only funds are generally more laid back too.
