Get back to your call center and manage clients money Frank. Funny a quasi telemarketer would claim titles dont matter.
He isn’t one anymore, which in itself is impressive especially considering his creepy almost autistic tendencies. I don’t understand all the hate on FA’s, I think working as a PM/FA for a large wealth manager is probably one of the best jobs in finance considering the pay and lifestyle. Personally I’d rather have a job with a lot of interpersonal interaction rather then sit around reading FS’s and crunching numbers on excel all day. its gets pretty tedious and boring.
that was 4 years ago. funny how things change. i don’t even recall you but the fact you remembered me says a whole lot. what you do anyways? titles do not matter but you seem to have a thing for meaningless titles. FRM and CAIA? damm, you must be one hell of a sucka…FRM was easy and CAIA? you an idiot if you think that means anything. CAIA is a complete joke, its embarassing really… once again deebo, what is your title since you care about it so much. and please, don’t tell us you’re some BSD in the front office cause we know you’re not.
what do you do now frank?
What do you do Frank? How did you transition out of your old job?
Again with the racial slurs. I think RacistFrank is available once you get banned. And you claim your research is so robust. Had you done any research on me, you would have discovered my title, job, and responsibilities. I’ll give you a hint, it’s in my AF profile. Keep stacking dem bricks on the Y line while reading a script, you’ll soon be a real BSD PM.
Sweep the Leg got it right: “Again, it really comes down to whether or not what they manage is a stand-alone product. If it is - mutual fund, SMA, hedge fund, even just a composite - then you could safely call them a PM.” Exactly. It has nothing to do with “cream of the crop” or any other such subjective nonsense. For example, the guy who runs the GOOG family office is not a PM. Yes he is very successful and may well be considered the “cream of the crop” but he is a CIO/wealth manager. It can get tricky: 1) is the person who managers Harvard’s endowment or CalPERS a PM? 2) Are the people who work for them that manage a specific sleeve (real estate, muni fixed income) of the total endowment or pension a PM? By Sweeps definition, the answer to the first question is “no” and to the second question is “yes.” To an extent I agree with Frank that the titles are a bit meaningless, but if you want to break down a taxonomy I think Sweep made that best start. I actually thought MLA was not very clear and was somewhat biased in his post, but it’s kind of a silly (if entertaining) topic so whatevs.
do you guys seriously care? is warren buffet a PM?
