Seeking advice - phd from risk to AM

Hi everyone, I am a newbie to this forum. I got my phd (corporate finance) three years ago and currently am working for a big4 advisory service assisting banks on model validation/development based on regulatory requirement (e.g. CCAR, Basel).

After three years I already lost interest on my current field and want to move to AM. The risk model I have worked on has nothing to do with market products and therefore cannot add to much to my resume. I will really appreciate if someone could give me advice on how to move from risk to AM! Even some little hint would be highly appreciated!

Stay warm.
