If you refer investment bank as traders, then nope. These jacks only recruits from target elite schools, such as Oxbridge, LBS, LSE, ICL, UCL in the UK, Ivy league level schools in the US, If you mean analyst jobs, then an accountant qualification can break into, but it's more geography relevance, the US doesn't trust their CPA can do an analyst job; they more likely prefer the CFA accountants in UK is very popular and look up to, and ACA/ACCA/CIMA can work their way into back office, mid-office positions. As for China, accountants and CFA are comparable in analyst jobs, so CPA ACCA is recommendable.
