I just found out about this forum site and am anxious to learn more.  I worked for 5 years in the insurance business at one of the well-known life insurance firms.  I then went on to get my MBA and graduated last year.  I now work in private wealth management at a top tier investment bank.  I am enjoying the experience thus far, although I am determined to make a transition to a more independent advisory model in the next 12-24 months.  I just value the independence and really want to be viewed as objective by my clients.  I am working on level 3 of the CFA and hope to pass the exam in June.

Talk to Moraen about level three.  That's the best advice I can give you.

What are your thoughts on Asset Allocation? Seriously, we need to know before you can see the rest of the goods.

Bluetoon, u talkin to me? Big proponent of assett allocation w/an alpha kicker. ie, io generally run 80% of a portfolio @ a specific allocation and use the other 20%to trade sectors (ie etf's or single equities). Biggest problem i have had w/cookie cutter allocation models is that you tend to not contact your client nearly as much, by running 20% as an alpha strategy I find I contact clients much more frequently. When can I open the investment section?

You do what i do. Except my allocation piece is 65%
How many positions do you hold in the 20%

I am also a big believer in asset allocation.  I follow a similar strategy to alter the asset allocation based mainly on tactical recommendations that are made by our internal strategy team.  I think that asset allocation is most effective when it is altered on a periodic basis to reflect current market developments.
