thank you!
This is good and all, but Asset Management isn't prestigious. At my elite IB group we consider it to be back office.
Your elite IB group couldn’t exit to a FO AM role if they wanted to unfortunately.
Second, AM is essentially glorified PWM.
The terminology is intentionally muddied by the guys who are unsuccessful, but I disagree. There is a world of difference between being an analyst for a minimally constrained fundamental active fund and being the Primerica rep selling variable annuities to senior citizens. This list unfortunately lumps the two together. You've got both wirehouses with no AM arms and pure play fund shops on this list.
Yeah, some of these aren't even worthy of the title PWM, you're looking at mass-affluent WM or even below, but working for a fund-shop can be a different animal. I'm intentionally dragging out old names to keep myself clean for compliance, but Peter Lynch and Bill Gross worked in AM.
AUM ≠ jobs. Some of these places … Edward jones? BoA? Do not have a single fundamental research analyst on staff. Pretty poor and useless post.
Where is Wellintgon ranked please?
