Canadians: Is Chartered Investment Manager valuable
Hi,
My goal is to get into <a href="http://tinyurl.com/432ywy8" target="_blank">portfolio management</a>, how valuable is it to get a chartered investment manager designation from CSI, should I do this in conjunction with my <abbr title="Chartered Financial Analyst">CFA</abbr> or is the <abbr title="confidential information memorandum">CIM</abbr> redudant?
I'd say, CFA would overshadow it. I haven't met many analysts/portfolio managers with CIM's, I could be wrong. The CFA's overwhelming itself, so in conjunction might not be the smartest idea. Just doing a simple google search, there's not that many jobs that would require it that wouldn't already need a CFA. Unless you can find a job that you'd want to pursue that requires it, then go for it. If not, I wouldn't recommend it. Still ask around! Just my two cents.
When I was networking through linkedin I noticed those bullshit CSI designations were more useful for after you've already broken in, or were transferring positions. It seemed like people did them as they were required to and not so much to prepare their resume for applying. Just my 2 cents.
Just had an informational interview with a Senior Investment Officer the other day and he said that for PM a CFA is a must..you have to get it if you want any chance at success within that field....that or a MBA.
