Advice for a CFA® /CA,CPA
Hi Monkeys,
I am in mid 20's currently working in MM M&A in Canada, looking to complete my CFA® in due course, and have recently received my CA, CPA designation (thinking about learning C++ and Python myself). How can I best leverage myself to break into a HF?
1. Top 10 MBA 2. Masters/degree in econometrics
3. Alternatives?
I see my biggest weakness is a lack of extremely in depth mathematical knowledge and applicable buy side experience. My strengths obviously are a strong understanding of fundamental analysis and financial theory.
Regards,
Bump
If someone could weigh in on a CMT designation as well that would be helpful.
M&A is more relevant for distressed and L/S equity, think the MBA is probably the best route.
What you should do depends on the strategy you're interested in. Can't really help until you discuss that because the skill set for a L/S equity is very different from a Global Macro fund.
Thank yo for the reply. I am of the opinion that beggars cant be choosers and that the fund I choose is a function of which fits my current experience. In other words, I like to keep my options open so if you could describe how to leverage my experience to fit a L/S equity fund vs a global macro fund I would appreciate it.
Im guessing a CMT and/or econometrics is more applicable for a macro fund. But i would like to weigh that against expanding my skillset for a L/S fund (MBA?). Im assuming C++ and Python are mandatory for both?
