I’m an FA within the bank channel and have made the mistake of leaving my first firm to go to another. bank program that ended up failing and sold our books to another firm. It’s become harder and harder to grow a book now within the bank channel because of Reg BI and it’s going to take me a decade to grow my book to where I want to be. I’m a CFP and finishing up my MBA. I’m thinking of going to another area of Finance all together like PE. Any suggestions for me? NOT looking to go Independent.

You say you don't want to go independent correct? Primerica has business opportunities.

What I don’t understand is how primerica gets around regbi…

By not exploring the RIA path, you dismissed a viable path. The PE path is a possibility at a smaller shop. I know the progression because of family and colleagues at Blackstone, Carlyle and Apollo to name a few and transition is more accessible when coming from Investment Banking. The positives are your credentials though I haven’t met any CFPs in PE, but I am sure they are out there.

PE won’t be possibly unfortunately, but you could do IB after an MBA and a lot of other careers too. You could always join a team or find another opportunity for succession planning … etc

M&A is investment banking…so you would get your mba from a t20 school and pivot as an associate post mba. PE is ultra competitive but doable if you possibly spend time in IB or consulting.

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement?

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
