It has a lot of info on that site about different roles. If you are serious about investing you should take the CSC to be taken seriously. The designations Slava speaks to come after several years in the industry. |
Yeah but the CSC alone lets you trade stocks for people, but not on a discretionary basis. If you want to actually manage other peoples money on their behalf you have to be licensed for that.
