I am currently in my last year of a business undergraduate degree from a non target school and I did not major in finance. However I have had several Internships with one of the Big Five Canadian Banks dealing with Investment Sales completing the CSC and am currently writing Level 1 in June. I am trying to go into equity research/portfolio management, what are some recommendations or advice to breaking into the capital market industry…when you did not major in finance nor non target school?
here’s a question. what did you major in? and why suddently want to get into “equity research / port mgmt” ?
+1. Hint: Don’t say because you’re passionate about it.
“I heard that you can make a lot of money. I’m passionate about making a lot of money.”
GPA?
Majored in Management and Minored in Accounting GPA 3.7, I like the financial modeling and research side more than investment sales. Plus “I know you can make a lot of money and Im passonate about making a lot of money”
acceptable.
the other correct answer is: What is Models and Bottles?
If I see CSC in one other thread, I think I’ll throw my screen out of the building.
Why?
what the heck is a CSC? is that anything even worth mentioning? because when I google “what is a csc” I get:
Card Security Code** The Card Security Code is usually a 3- or 4-digit number, which is not part of the credit card number. The CSC is typically printed on the back of a credit card (usually in the signature field).**
canadian securities course…it’s a pretty weak course.
second easiest way to get licensed to sell mutual funds and talk to clients
dwheats what’s the easiest way?
I thought the csc was required to sell mutual funds or stocks in Canada?
I believe Series 7 is your equivalent.
Easiest way is the IFC provided by the CSI.
It’s a dumbed down version of the CSC…so it must be embarrassingly easy.
You can dumb down the CSC?
