If you are speaking to clients about their portfolio updates, or talking about performance (no matter how broad) you probably need to be licensed. Even most assistants or junior client service people in PWM groups that I work with are all fully licensed, just in case. Just get them it's not too painful!

Compensation is not commensurate with education.

What are administrative updates? Regardless, if you make security recommendations, provide any advice or guidance on existing holdings, provide any type of overall portfolio analysis or advice....you need to be licensed. Series 7 if you are operating as a broker, Series 66 if you are operating in a fee based, advisory capacity.

You can go to the FINRA website and it will explain everything.
