    Stupid question

    When people talk about yields, are they referring to the gross redemption yield, or are they referring to the current/running yield? Yes it's a newbie question...

    CFA or SII Diploma

    If you do the CFA, while the 3 years is tough, it does give you exemption from the SII diploma investment analysis module..... If that helps....

    SII Certs

    thanks! Still though, do you think it will add real value to my CV, or is it better to try and wait for a company to sponsor me through the regi rep- series 16 thing? I fancy advising and dealing on behalf of clients....

    SII Certs

    Here be the email... Dear sirs, I have passed the CFA organisations IMC exam. I was thinking of enrolling for the certificate in securities and financial derivatives. Could you tell me if the IMC gives me exemption from unit 1 ( the regulatory unit) of the aforementioned SII certificate? Thanks...

    Regi Rep or SII cert?

    Having done the IMC, (I am working as a fund analyst at the moment) would I be better doing the SII certs or waiting to get into a company that can sponsor me through the regi rep? Do the SII certs enable me to do anything that I can't already do with the IMC?:smart:

    SII Certs

    Does having passed the unit 1 of the IMC gain exemption from the unit 1 of the SII certificates? Should I do the retail bit now to keep my options open?
