Basically find a job analyzing securities/portfolio analyst work/get a top MBA. Easier said than done right? I’m trying to do the same!

Matt likes anaysis is hitting the nail on the head.
Larger RIA’s may mange billions and have “portfolio managers” on staff but a true PM is really a mutual fund manager style position. FA’s are sales people.
Also, the biggest difference is that PM are generally over acheivers, very smart, from top MBA programs w/ their charters. They’re the cream of the crop. Many FA’s dont even have a college degree and have little knowledge of markets. Maybe a well qualified one has a CFP + BA from a decent school. FA’s sell what PM’s are putting together.

a bunch of idiots arguing over a definition of a term, who really gives a damm?……from the looks of it, none of you manage money or make decisions with other people’s money cause if you do, the title really doesn’t matter now does it……

Get back to your call center and manage clients money Frank. Funny a quasi telemarketer would claim titles dont matter.

Again with the racial slurs. I think RacistFrank is available once you get banned.
And you claim your research is so robust. Had you done any research on me, you would have discovered my title, job, and responsibilities. I’ll give you a hint, it’s in my AF profile. Keep stacking dem bricks on the Y line while reading a script, you’ll soon be a real BSD PM.
