MY INVESTMENT BANKING CAREER PATH
Your exceptional abilities and hard work have led you to become a Partner or a Director of a Corporate Finance/Investment Banking Firm or you're a designated Portfolio Manager or a Senior Research Analyst.
The arena is changing for Portfolio Managers – more and more firms are allowing Brokers to attain the Portfolio Managers designation with the CIM courses instead of the CFA courses – giving them discretionary trading status and allowing them to manage a "Portfolio" of their own. Strict guidelines are set as to how these "Portfolios" can be set up and what types of investments can be held in them. An Executive in Corporate Finance has other options – your own firm, global deals – working with large Multi-national firms.
Courses in Business Management, Negotiating Skills or MBA designation will help you optimize your business acumen.
