I am currently an associate for an RIA in our Retirement Plan Division. I joined the division last year, and have spent the year "learning by listening". All my energy outisde work on focused on finishing up the CFA. I recently became a charterholder, and I have the AIF designation as well.
I am extremely confident of my understanding of markets and investments, where I am lacking is understanding ERISA rules, how to design plans to best benefit our clients, how rules affect certain things etc.
I was wondering if anyone here could provide some insight on where I should focus my energies. I will be working as a 3(38) Investment Manager to plans - would it best to focus my energy on obtaining the QKA? or would the CPFA better serve me. Or maybe there is something else I should be focusing on.
I have some insights from my boss - I want to seek out other opinions though - thanks!
