I recently graduated from uni and started working as an FA Trainee. I have been learning quite a lot honestly but still looking for other opportunities. Extremely intrigued by the wealth management side. So, can anyone give me an idea of what skills and qualifications are essential to break into the wealth side? Also, my current compensation is very discouraging so, it is also a reason why I need to look out for better opportunities.

I’ll be honest with you… while I appreciate your desire to expand your skills and qualifications, I will tell you those are ancillary. You need to prospect and build a network to be successful in Wealth Management. As someone who trains new associates, I’ve seen time and time over again where I see qualified or over qualified individuals fail because they didn’t have a solid pipeline nor business development plan. Hope this helps… cheers!

@Richard Raad — No, I’ve been at Wachovia before they were Wells Fargo, independent BD/RIA, and now at MS. Truth be told and not to be sound like a company man but I would encourage you to read other companies Research on MS. We’re probably ahead of the game in terms of technology than any other wire house on the street.
