Consultancy
Financial consultancy jobs involve providing advice to clients, individual or corporate, on financial products including house and life insurance, mortgages, pensions, investments, and savings plans.
Financial consultancy jobs can require a degree in business studies, finance and accountancy or a related subject. A degree will give you a head start in financial consultancy jobs, but is not essential as ‘on the job training' is usually provided by working with experienced advisers and financial consultants. Financial advisers in financial consultancy jobs must gain one of a series of qualifications approved by the Financial Services Authority.
Financial consultancy jobs can be either 'tied' or ‘independent'. Tied financial consultancy jobs entail working for organisations such as banks, building societies and insurance companies. Their financial consultancy jobs are to sell the products of the company. Financial consultancy jobs as independent financial advisers (IFAs) allow advice to be given on financial products from a selection of different organisations. Tied and independent financial consultancy jobs call for the needs of the clients to be assessed, and recommendations based on findings made. Financial consultancy jobs in investment and asset management offers financial consultancy jobs as ‘sell-side' analysts, who research companies for private investors and unit trust fund managers, then assess the outlook for investment potential. Financial consultancy jobs as ‘buy-side analysts' involve reviewing investment opportunities for pension funds, investment banks, and insurance and life assurance companies. Financial consultancy jobs require practitioners to keep abreast of trends and new financial products, as well as legislation and laws that govern the financial sector.
