Generally either "Thanks" or "Regards." followed by my shortened name, then followed by my signature with my full name, degrees, and title.
Thanks if I'm asking for something, regards if I'm providing info, or if I opened the email with "Thanks John Doe" because they came through with something I needed big-time. (I view opening and closing with 'thanks in the same email as excessive)
You put CFA after your full name right?
Full Name, CFA, CFP, CAIA.
I go casual with the shortened name (think like using Jon instead of Jonathan) then go the other way by listing them all. I feel like by doing that I'm saying that I trust the recipient to respond casually to me, but I'm actually a big effin deal.
stay hard, pt
Sounds like David Goggins
love,
Deuces,
best 90% of the time. Sometimes I write too quck and it comes out "Bet"....which is awesome.
5% is sincerely
Hasta la vista baby,
1% of the time if someone F's up or is being a PITA to me, I sugarcoat it with facetiousness and close with "Kindest Regards" as a big F U.
Regards can be a bit risky due to the proximity of the letters G and T on the keyboard.
But yeah I usually go "Thanks" or "Best" or sometimes if it's me making the request it's "thanks and best regards"
followed by name and firm + team I'm on. Like so:
John Smith
Pierpoint M&A Team
It depends on the type of email. If it is someone interesting in becoming a client, I write thank you followed by my contact information including website and Linkedin. If I am providing information as part a request, I just put my first name, followed by contact information.
When I worked for companies and not for myself, I put "Best."
Generally with Outlook the signature is a one button add in option. I'll putt the "Thanks/Regards, Jon" part in manually but the "Full Name, CFA, CFP, CAIA, Title, Department, Email, Phone #" are all pre-loaded as my signature along with the corporate logo next to them. Unless it's somebody I know well in my department I'll just drop it all in to make it easy for the other party to find all my contact info.
When I hit reply or create, my signature automatically gets included. It makes sense to put something in manually because each email has a different purpose. I would only put regards if I knew the personal well and on a personal level.
surprised to see comments with people saying they actually write something manually. I have "best regards" automatically in my signature at the end of every email. I don't even think about it.
best regards, Best regards, or Best Regards?
2 for sure

Cheers,
Best or Pax
AMDG is a good one too when talking to Catholics.
Yeah I like that one too.
Cheers is underrated
I like it when a super high up executive says cheers.
No closing
Formal - Kind regards,
Informal - Best, Thanks
For clients and internal requests or emailing partners
Many thanks,

Thanks boss
I usually go with "Best," or "Cheers" depending on the tone of the email. Keeps it casual but still professional enough for most situations.
Your Bruvth,
Peace
