You would think in college they would have covered this, but they didn’t . Also can you tell me what each series 6-7 etc is exactly for.
Thanks for your help in advance. RL


Call your state securities commission. They can give you all the information you need. Or contact FINRA at finra.org and they can tell you who to contact in your state.

How long does investment advisor or financial advisor course take to learn?



Most firms want a bachelor's degree (4 years), or experience...

Depending on the company:

1) Series 10-55 --- Life, accident and Health Insurance (took me 7 days).

2) Series 6 --- Investments, variable limited rep. (took me like 9 days).

3) Series 63 --- Uniform Securities state law exam (took me 7 days).

4) Series 7 --- General Securities Rep. Exam (took me 10 days).

Depending on your ability to learn, it'll take you around 1-3 months. My firm gave me a month and a half to finish my licenses (i took the 7 w/ the extra time I had.

Pretty much, you have to learn 3-4 different books, in and out, as questions do get very detailed. Books range in size from 300-400 pages.

How/Where would I go to find a personal financial or investment advisor?

I would like to someone to guide me in planning my financial future.


The State Securities commission might be a good place. They might have a list of advisors in your area. Or the Yellow Pages. Then you might check them out on the National Association of Securities Dealers website, on their brokercheck section. That will tell you if they have had any disciplinary problems. You can also look up their ADV online. Thats the disclosure form for an advisor. It tells their background, fees, services etc.

Employment as Investment advisor or financial planner after a business degree?

If a person was to complete a business degree program in Ontario, is it possible to get into the profession immediately after graduation, or will that person have to have a junior role in a company/firm and work their way up the ladder? Is the mean salary for a person with a university degree significantly more than one with a college diploma in finance? And lastly, for current IAs and/or financial planners, is there a high turnover in the field? And are there any organizations to whom being affiliated with enhance the profession (other than CFP)?


Most financial service companies do not require a college degree, but it is preferred. Before starting they usually require you to hold the proper licenses. Also most firms start you with a salary, but are eventually paid via commissions. There is a high turnover since it takes a special individual. You have to be highly self motivated, a people person, not afraid to call people you do not know and not afraid to ask them personal questions, also sadly you need to be able to sell people.

When pursuing a career in Finance (investment broker, financial advisor, etc), how important is accounting?

I'm curious b/c my managerial accounting class is required for a finance degree, but it doesn't seem like it has much to do with investing and to be quit honest, bores the life out of me.

  • 9 Tips To Avoid Financial Fraud | retirement investment

    Investment fraud is as old as the world itself. From the day we stopped trading livestock and produce and began using money as a means of exchange, dishonest people have been trying to cheat and swindle it away. Though it is an old problem, recently Bernie Madoff and now (allegedly) Allen Stanford have brought it back to our attention in a big way.

    As an investment professional as well as a consumer, it is an outrage that both inexperienced and savvy investors alike get taken advantage of by con-men and charlatans. So in an effort to battle these wrongs and protect you from being a victim yourself, I offer these guidelines to reduce the risk of imprudent investment as well as fraud.
