Most important credential / degree / certificate for asset management type jobs ?
Hello
First time poster, and MBA student at a state university. I wanted to ask you guys what do you consider to be the "best" credential/etc for Asset Management type jobs ? What do clients and potential employers like the most ?
Of the many that exist, the following seem to be more common
CFP (note I could care less about insurance guidance or how a widow should handle her estate)
CMT (I do have an interest in technical analysis)
CIMA
CFA
MBA
CPA
Etc ?
I also have an interest in stock analyst/equities analyst type jobs, FWIW.
Thank You
I'll say Series 7 and Series 66 have got to be high on the list
Of that list, CFA is the most respected in AM. The others aren't really relevant or necessary but the MBA will be a plus.
Also, an MSF is usually better than an MBA for AM.
Haha CMT. I wonder if the horoscope-readers could have predicted that Carl Icahn's comments were going to move the markets today (which screws up future "analysis").
CFA MBA CPF maybe
What degree is most preferable for asset management? (Originally Posted: 11/01/2009)
Basically, the question is the subject.

Master in Finance
I forgot to mention that i was talking about a degree at a ug level; i guess it's bachelor in finance :-). Anyway, why Master? Does it stand better than CFA?
