FINRA Exams vs ACAMS Certifcation
Hi,
I recently passed the Series 57 exam and previously passed the Series 7 and 63 exams. I told my manager that was next interested in taking the Series 4 exam. I think I would eventually also like to have the Series 3 and Series 24.
I work in compliance and my manager suggested going for the ACAMS certification (Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists). Although I am not in the AML space, I am in compliance, dealing primarily with equities, although some fixed income matters are within my purview.
What are people's thoughts on what is more valuable to obtain? My manager would support and sponsor me in either case. I had my mind set on getting the rest of the series licenses I previously mentioned. But, now I am not so sure.
I am also concerned about the time and study commitment involved. I felt I studied pretty hard for the 7 and 57 (less so for the 63), but didn't mind doing so. However, if getting the ACAMS certification is tantamount to the CFA, I am not so certain that I am want to commit to that kind of study regimen.
Any informed insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
