Qualification to work in Private Banking

[gweebarra]

Hi,

I'm currently looking at potentially changing my career and would like to get into a private banking/high net worth individual relationship type of role.

I know that the main banks and some of the stockbroking firms have dedicated areas that service high net worth individuals etc.

I have a primary economics degree and an MBS in International Business, both from UCD. I am now considering doing the QFA qualification from the LIA. It takes up to two years to complete.

Would this be the best type of qualification in order to move into this type of role?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I think you should explore a Bachelor of Financial Services degree which is now linked into the life exams as the ultimate destination. You may get substantial credits to complete the course and it would probably be the best match to the HNW marketplace. Best of luck.
