How to become an investment adviser? I am a BBA student.

Dear Ahmed, With all due respect to my learned colleague, I want to point out that there is a slight different in investment advisory and investment banking. Essentially an investment advisor helps high networth individuals in managing their wealth by advising their customers about investment opportunities. They keep a track of market opportunities. Investment Bankers help the corporate as businesses in raising capital through debt syndication or equity placement. To become an investment advisor which you asked, you could do CFP or a 1 Year PG Diploma in Banking and Finance. With right skills and above mentioned qualifications, you will be able to earn starting salaries of 3 to 4 lakh per annum. Feel free to connect with me for any further clarifications. Wish you good luck with your career decisions. Best of Luck! Prof Amit Goyal
