How long does it take to become a fund manager in the field of financial investment?

First, you must be from a securities company to engage in stock research. The threshold for stock research is basically a master's degree or a doctor's degree.

Second, when doing research, you must have excellent performance to prove your ability, so that it will be taken by fund companies.

Third, joining a fund company does not mean that you are a fund manager. You have to start as a product manager and assistant, and your ability is affirmed before you can be promoted to a fund manager.

If you want to enter this industry, it's hard to make mistakes from the beginning.

1. Unfortunately, just like there is no fixed distance to become a president, there are no fixed steps to become a fund manager.

However, even so, career planning is still needed. This career planning may be what you call "steps". Your career plan is to become a fund manager. To this end, it is necessary to improve their academic qualifications (more importantly, improve their academic ability).

Among the 45 fund managers of more than ten fund companies surveyed, 100% has a bachelor's degree or above, of which 73.3% has a master's degree, and1.1%has a doctor's degree or above.

As for academic ability, it is one of the main points that all walks of life pay attention to when recruiting talents. Jeff, president of Wasacz, Utah, USA, and manager of Wasatch small-cap growth fund? Jeff Cardon said that he was a graduate of the University of Utah and only had an "ordinary resume" when he applied for the company. However, he has an extremely brilliant performance: his fund performance has been better than 92% of the small-cap growth funds in the past decade-which is difficult for many "much smarter" guys to do.

Education is important, but an MBA who just graduated from Harvard Business School may not be favored by fund companies, because his qualifications may be very shallow, let alone work experience.

The working experience of the current fund manager in the fund or investment industry is also a very valuable asset. Generally speaking, fund managers have 6- 10 years of securities or investment experience.

2. As for courses, relatively speaking, the important job of fund managers is to analyze the financial statements of enterprises and find the investment value of companies in the complicated data of assets, rights and interests, profits and cash flow. Around this work, enterprise accounting, financial figures, enterprise statistics and enterprise financial management are basic courses.

Engaged in the financial industry, the main courses of the financial industry are also the foundation, and monetary banking, financial markets and financial institutions, international finance, securities investment analysis, financial law, corporate finance, and an introduction to financial derivatives must also be mastered.

From this perspective, you already know the courses that this industry should involve. It can be said that related courses involve a lot. Besides, other courses should even be included. For example, if you invest in communication industries, such as Datang Telecom and China Unicom, you need basic communication knowledge, such as 3G, TD-SCDMA and CDMA2000 technologies. Companies investing in the field of biological restrictions need to know some biological knowledge. Of course, the focus should be on the knowledge of financial courses.

3. Certificate:

Let me put it simply: you should have a qualification certificate in the securities industry.

Securities analyst qualification

Strong analytical skills, sufficient knowledge and experience, no poor network resources (ah, anyone who meets these conditions can), noble personality and a sense of responsibility (o your own ideas also depend on what kind of fund manager you are).

Generally speaking, this is a very closed industry. It can be said that it is very difficult to enter this industry, and there will not be many opportunities for open recruitment (analysts may still have it). Basically, fund managers start with analysts. You can go to the websites of domestic and foreign fund companies to see the relevant requirements.
