Guys is there any certification in finance to test us on the basics of finance? I want to take up on the certification as it would give an organised insight into that domain & also it would add value to my career. I'm 25 years now & becoming a value-investor is in my vision , for which the technical skills of finance like reading financial statements,knowing the finance jargons etc are mandatory. That's the reason i'm very keen on taking up a certification in finance. Your views are appreciated & valued. Regards.

I am in front office side working for investment banking division on forex options.. If you are keen on certifications - CFA is good.. would take 2-3 years to complete.. and may help you to switch careers into finance if you are good in it..Other option is FRM which also has good reputation...

Lok Manic ,CFA and FRM are big things.
you should better do ICWA or MBA in finance Or do nothing.
for finance here , some books :
Corporate Finance Demystified Applied Quantitative Finance Numerical Methods in Finance & Economics A MATLAB based Linear Factor Models in Finance Paul Wilmott on Quantitative Finance 3 Volume Set Mba In Finance 2nd Edition

Getting into Finance domain is good as we might get very good pay but as you know finance domin is not stable always( sometimes at its peak and now at its low). IS it better to get into financial domain??? or stay in a domain which is stable always( domain i am in now is stable always )
What do you think omi???

Well my friend I see my career as web developer and database administrator. I don't think I have to dwell myself completely into finance domain.
Gotta concentrate on Information security too.
So you are playing seesaw game ,finance is like the same ,isn't it?
you got lot of experience than me and you understand finance is big pain in you know what.
Now I have understood too.I will keep my back away from it.
best regards, omi

Hi Lok, I was following the discussion. I was curious when you say Front Office is it some specific api/product that is used in Finance Domain .Can you please clarify. I googled java front office and found a lot of job postings. I appreciate your reply.
Hi Lok, Front office is not a software Any trading environment can be divided into front office (traders facing, trading terminals), middle office (algorithms, trade routers, OMS etc), backoffice(risk management, data storage) applications.
Most of the applications are highly propritery for each investment bank so you may not get it unless you work in that particular division.
To get a similar idea there is a open source order management system Marketcetera. It can give you a decent idea about the workflow and technology.

chen,
I completely accept your explanation, but i hope there are tools or software that provide easy interface to the end user fro the various functionalities. And i have heard people say it will be difficult to get used to these tools unless you are good at the basic financial terminologies and that was the reason why i asked about the certifications.
Sree, you are right there will be good opportunities for the guys who are good at front office tools. Hope i answered your answer too. [ September 09, 2008: Message edited by: Lok Manick ]

One of the most important and difficult choices that someone that is beginning a website can make is what to name it. What do you want your domain name. ------------ Sally Foreclosed Homes

Forget finance Domain for some time... lol
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
