Research Analyst at a Family Office experience, research, position, limited

sabina

I live in a town with limited research analyst opportunities. We do have a few small hedge funds (the largest having about $400mm aum, the others with <$50mm), a regional broker dealer, and some small to mid-size institutional shops. Would a position as a Research Analyst at a local independent Family Office style Financial Planning Firm with around $500mm build worthwhile buy-side experience? My goal once I've earned my charter is to move to an institutional shop or a hedge fund and work my way up to a Portfolio Manager position.
