金融行业发展前景和未来职业规划
金融业是一个传统行业,同时在我国也是一个发展中的行业,与我们的生活息息相关。首先社会各阶层各行业所有人,都需要资金融通,不论长期的或短期的资金需求,不论国内的或海外的现金需求,不论即期的或远期的资金需求,金融业都可以满足这些需要。其次赚到一点钱的企业或个人,他的金钱需要有个存放或运用的去处,金融业正可以满足这个需要。而且随着中国金融业的开放,外资银行的进入,国内金融机制的改革,民营的金融机构、保险机构也会在增加,金融业在我国具有很好的发展前景,受过比较好的金融专业教育的学生,将会有很多的发展机会。

一,九类金融人才的需求:

目前国内金融市场,对金融人才的需求很大,尤其是急缺金融分析师、金融工程师、特许财富管理师、基金经理、精算师、副总裁级高管、稽查监管人员、产品开发人员、后台工作人员(在财务、结算、税务方面有经验)等九大类人才。
金融分析师(CFA):在欧美等发达国家和地区,获得CFA资格几乎是进入投资领域从业的必要条件,全球至今仅有3.55万人通过考试,而我国大陆,目前约50人拥有此资格,未来3年对CFA的需求量将超过5000人。
金融工程师:注重金融市场交易与金融工具的可**作性,将最新的科技手段、规模化处理方式(工程方法)应用到金融市场上,创造出新的金融产品、交易方式,从而为金融市场的参与者赢取利润、规避风险或完善服务。

特许财富管理师:5年以上金融机构工作经验,有良好的经济学基础和至少精通两个投资领域,其要求之高,很少人能通过。

投资管理人才:市场急需大量的投资管理人才,这些投资管理人才主要包括风险投资人才、融资租赁人才、金融业务代表、个人投资顾问等。
稽查监管人员:有能力胜任者,只有在薪水能高于原先30%到40%才愿意跳槽。

二,金融业的资格证书和考试
1、证券从业资格证书:此为入门证书,是进入证券行业的必要证书。共考五科:基础,交易,发行与承销,技术分析和基金。
2、期货从业资格证书:同证券从业资格证书一样,也是入门所需证书。高中学历以上报考即可,共考两科,基础和法规。金融期货即将推出,俱期货人才应该会变的抢手。
3、保险中介人从业人员资格考试:可分为(1)保险代理从业人员资格考试
;(2)保险经纪和保险公估从业人员资格考试
4、个人金融理财人员(Financial Advisor)也被称为金融理财师、金融策划师、金融顾问等。他们的主要职责是根据客户的短期和长期的金融需要和金融状况,为客户提供购买适合客户需要的金融产品的建议。
5、金融投资分析人员(Financial Analyst)也被称为金融分析师、证券分析师或投资分析师。他们一般就职于银行、保险公司、基金公司、证券公司等金融机构,帮助这些公司或公司客户作出理性的投资决定。
CFA是“注册金融分析师”(Chartered Financial Analyst)的简称,也称“特许金融分析师”,它是证券投资与管理界的一种职业资格称号,由美国“注册金融分析师学院”(ICFA)发起成立。
有“全球金融第一考”之称的CFA证书是证券投资与管理界的一种职业资格认证,是由美国投资管理与研究协会AIMR现名为CFA INSTITUTE于1963年设立的,是目前全球规模最大的职业考试,也是全美及全球重量级财务金融机构投资及分析从业人员必备的证书。鉴于CFA考试的正规性、专业性和权威性,其资格在全球金融领域内受到广泛的认可,是进入银行、投资、证券行业的从业通行证,被戏称为“华尔街的入场券”。 (newstarnet.com)
CFA考试侧重于投资和财务分析理论,比较适合金融机构研究和投资管理人员、金融专业的博士或硕士。CFA资格授予广泛的各个投资领域内的专业人员,包括基金经理、证券分析师、财务总监、投资顾问、投资银行家、交易员等等。CFA要求持有人建立严格而广泛的金融知识体系,掌握金融投资行业各个核心领域理论与实践知识,包括从投资组合管理到金融资产估价,从衍生证券到固定收益证券以及定量分析。
CFA考试内容涉及职业道德准则、数理统计学、经济学、财务报表分析、企业融资、证券市场分析、股票投资分析、金融衍生产品分析、替代金融产品分析、房地产投资分析、投资公司分析、货币或外汇交易投资分析、基金管理学以及基金回报计算与统计等。CFA持有者要求具有大学本科以上学历并获得学士或以上学位,四年以上被CFA协会所认可的金融投资相关工作经验,顺序通过三级每级6小时总共18小时的考试,遵守CFA 协会的职业道德和专业人员行为准则。目前,全球有约10万人通过全部三级考试并获得特许金融分析师(CFA)资格。CFA资格持有人分布在120多个国家和地区,其中加拿大有8000多名CFA资格持有人。
6、注册国际投资分析师(CIIA)考试简介
注册国际投资分析师(Certified International Investment Analyst, 简称CIIA)考试是由注册国际投资分析师协会(ACIIA)为金融和投资领域从业人员量身订制的一项高级国际认证资格考试。通过CIIA考试的人员,如果拥有在财务分析,资产管理和/或投资等领域三年以上相关的工作经历,即可获得由国际注册投资分析师协会授予的CIIA称号。自CIIA考试于2001年正式推出以来,全球已经有5000多人参加了终级考试,迄今为止,2800多专业人士已经获得CIIA称号。随着各个区域和国家/地区协会的推广,CIIA将会吸引更多的专业人员参考,并扩大其在国际范围内的影响;一个更加广泛的全球CIIA联盟也将逐渐形成。
7、特许金融规划师CFP(CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER): CFP证书是国际上金融服务领域最权威的个人理财职业资格。CFP证书授予机构是美国CFP标准委员会,在加拿大则由美国总会授权的加拿大金融策划标准委员会负责授予。特许金融规划师CFP,这是一个包括银行、投资公司、保险公司等整个金融界及税务界在内唯一得到国际权威认证认可的金融理财业专业资格人士。CFP证照无论在世界各地如美、加、英、德、法、意、瑞士、日本,还是在两岸三地,都受CFP国际总会统一授权管理,为国际间金融理财规划业界最高的荣耀,CFP证书就是理财专家的身份证明。
CFP是为客户进行理财的金融理财规划师,主要根据客户的资产状况与风险偏好,关注客户的需求与目标,以“帮助客户”为核心理念,采取一整套规范的模式提供包括客户生活方方面面的全面财务建议,为客户寻找一个最适合的理财方式,包括投资、保险、税务及资产转移等,以确保其资产的保值与增值。 (newstarnet.com)
欲取得CFP特许金融规划师资格,在全球世界范围内都必须具备4“E”,即Education教育、Experience经验、Examination考试和Ethics职业道德规范。第一个“E”(教育):教育训练--作为CFP,必须具备跨行业的知识,即包括财务策划、投资、保险、税务、退休计划和员工福利等,而且需要对本国和国际的法律法规都必须比较清楚地了解和掌握。第二个“E”(考试):必须成功通过极其严格的全国统一CFP专业考试,CFP考试实行强制大幅度淘汰制。加拿大考试主要涉及:理财过程、现金和预算规划、现代金融投资理论与投资产品规划、税务规划、退休计划、员工福利、风险管理和保险产品规划、遗产规划及职业**守等106个专业知识课题。第三个“E”(经验):通过全国统一考试的申请人要求最少有三年的理财规划及相关工作经验,以金融学博士等直接参加全国考试并通过者要求最少有三年的相关工作经验。第四个“E”(职业规范):证书申请人签署同意遵守第四个“E”(职业规范**守)的规定和要求。确保CFP在专业服务中,固守职业**行守则,做到公正、以客户利益为导向。
此外,每位CFP特许金融规划师必须终身接受每年有30 小时及以上认可的金融课程培训及考试之后,并且不能有违反专业道德之情形下,证照才可以通过年度审核。
8、精算师:在中国属稀缺资源的精算师,其薪酬因所聘精算师成本和国际惯例也变得内外有别。如现在中国身价最高的精算师——平安保险公司的Steven.Mile,据估计,他的身价至少为每年300万人民币,国内精算师的身价仅为50万至60万人民币。
精算师是运用精算方法和技术解决经济问题的专业人士。精算师传统的工作领域为商业保险业,主要从事产品开发、责任准备金核算、利源分析及动态偿付能力测试等重要工作。
1999年7月16日,中国举行首次精算师资格考试。考试分为准精算师和精算师两部分。考生通过全部九门课程考试后,将获得准精算师资格。获得准精算师资格的考生,通过五门精算师课程的考试并满足有关精算专业培训要求,答辩合格后,才能取得《精算师考试合格证书》。
目前,国内已有40名学员获得了准精算师资格。据了解,上海10家人寿保险公司仅有精算专业人员30多人,远不能满足保险业发展的需求。专家认为,精算在中国发展存在的一个问题是能否支付精算师高昂的薪水并且公平地雇用精算师。另外,精算师在利用现有条件提高技能水平的同时,更应注重职业标准的维护。

精算师的诱人之处首先表现在精算师有较高的社会地位,有人说,按英国标准来讲,中国只有两个精算师,而按美国精算师学会的名单,中国尚不存在一个合格的精算师。事实上,中国有些具有不同资格的精算师,但整体水平仍需加强。据预测,我国未来五年急需5000名精算人才。
三,金融业就业情况
1、商业银行
包括四大行和股份制商行、外资银行驻国内分支机构。
2、证券公司
含基金管理公司
3、信托投资公司、投资咨询公司 4、四大资产管理公司、金融租赁、担保公司 5、保险公司 6、中央(人行)银行、银行业监督管理委员会、证券业监督管理委员会、保险业监督管理委员会。这是金融监管管理机构。 7、国家开发银行、中国农业发展银行等政策性银行 8、社保基金管理中心(或社保局,通常为保险方向) 9、国家公务员序列。政府行政机构
如财政、审计、海关部门等;高等院校金融财政专业教师;研究机构研究人员。
10、上市(或欲上市)股份公司证券部、财务部、证券事务代表、董事会秘书处等
分析:
1、一九九八以来,银行及证券、保险行业管理机构加大了对金融专业毕业生的需求,进入行业管理部门做金融公务员,对于金融毕业生而言应是首选,因其一中国金融学是立足于宏观经济学,基于金融市场宏观调控,专业应用较易入手,其二是在行业管理部门做上三五年再入行到实践机构至少能给个中层以上的职位。局限是:要进入这几个行业主管部门难度较大,可能还需要背景依托,本科生想进较难,研究生也要有一定的关系。
2、进入国有四大商业银行是很好的选择。具备一定的银行业从业经验,专业背景,到股份制商行或外资行的可能性会更大。

3、政策性银行如开发行、农发行亦是较佳选择,但其工作性质类似公务员,金融业务并不突出,是靠政策吃饭的地方,若想在金融领域成一时气候最好不要,但目前工资水平待遇等都较商业银行为好。
4、证券、信托、基金这三家均是靠风险管理吃饭,存在行业系统风险因素,但一旺俱旺,赚钱相对较易,短期回报较高(风险亦大),且按真正的企业管理机制运行,如果想在专业方面有所发展,有所建树,在这一行业做是极佳选择,很多基金经理、投资银行经理人员都年薪过百万。难点是学历要求在逐步提高,相对于银行等金融机构其个人投资管理、金融运营能力要求更。
5、保险公司可以参照对商业银行的分析、社保以及财政审计部门等等是养老的地方,稳定有余,灵动不足。
6、四大资产管理公司类似于政策性银行,金融租赁担保这个行业发展迅速,可以考虑进入。
7、上市公司证券部工作亦可,先天上横跨证券产业两行,再要发展有立脚点。
8、高校、研究所是有志于做学术的同学的首选。
金融业就业机会综述(分析):
1998年以来,由于东南亚金融危机的影响,国家高度重视金融体系的安全与稳健发展,对于金融业从业人员的素质提出了较高要求,由此,银行及相关证券、保险等行业管理机构加大了对金融专业毕业生的需求,开启了在国家统一分配制度打破之后的新一轮对金融专业大学毕业生、研究生的增量需求,金融行业监管部门的人才举措,影响着所辖行业内的商业银行、证券、保险等金融机构加大了对金融专业毕业生的需求。
一、进入行业监督管理部门做金融官员,对于金融研究生而言应是首选。首先,中国金融学是立足于宏观经济学,基于金融市场宏观调控,专业应用较易入手,政策把握比较到位;其次,在行业管理部门做上三五年再入行到实践机构至少能给个中层以上的职位。其局限在于:要进入这几个行业主管部门难度较大,可能还需要背景依托,本科生想进较难,除非本人确实非常优秀。
二、进入国有四大商业银行是很好的选择。具备一定的银行业从业经验、专业背景,到股份制商行或外资银行驻华机构的可能性会增大。我的几个大学同学起初就是投身于国有四大行中,在城市股份制商业银行迅速发展起来之后,纷纷跳槽,并成为城市商业银行、股份制商行的中坚力量,很多成为中层管理人员,少数成为高层领导。城市商行、股份制商行的灵活务实、不论资排辈的干部任用方式,使得四大行成为其专业人才的"黄埔军校",至今这种情况仍在延续。虽然国有四大行有一些遗留的官僚积习,但其稳定的收入,较轻的压力,较高的福利水平还是有一定吸引力的,尤其对于女同学来说是个不错的选择。建议对四大国有商行感兴趣的朋友把专业方向集中在商业银行经营管理、国际金融、货币政策等方向上。
三、政策性银行如开发行、农发行亦是较佳选择,但其工作性质类似公务员,金融业务并不突出,是靠政策吃饭的地方,对于个人职业生涯的益处相对于行业监管部门、商业银行来说还是较弱的,若想在金融领域成一时气候最好不要选择这样的单位。不过目前这类单位的工资水平待遇等比商业银行好,而这也成为吸引毕业生眼球的亮点所在。
四、证券、信托、基金这三家均是靠风险管理吃饭的,存在行业系统风险因素,但一旺俱旺,赚钱相对较易,短期回报较高(风险亦大),且按真正的企业管理机制运行,如果想在专业方面有所发展,有所建树,在这一行业做是极佳选择,很多基金经理、投资银行经理人员都年薪过百万。难点是学历要求在逐步提高,最低要求硕士学历,相对于银行等金融机构其个人投资管理、金融运营能力要求更高,如果对这些行业有兴趣,可以选择证券投资、金融市场、金融工程专业方向,如果是学财务管理、法律硕士专业(本科是金融经济)的,这也是不错的选择。最近信托业重新崛起,对于金融专业以及其他专业的毕业生来说又添一新的选择,而其大投行的操作方略,又使其在人员使用上奉行"精英路线",在投行业有一句话是"公司80%的利润是不到5%的员工所创造的"。上述三家当下用人思路是积极"挖角",在金融行业内人员流动性最强的当属这三家。有志于风险管理、终日奔波、常年胃痛、居无定所的"精英人才"不妨选择这个行业。当然,调侃之余,不能否认,这个行业给你的回报与投入相比还是成正比的。建议男同学选择此行业,应该更有发展。
五、保险公司可以参照对商业银行的分析,做上数年,有保险营销、风险管理经验之后,在国内股份制保险机构迅速成长、外资保险机构进入的契机下,还是大有可为的。保险精算专业是非常吃香的。社保中心以及财政审计部门等是养老的地方,稳定有余,灵动不足,当然,希望获得稳健回报的朋友不妨作为一个选择来考虑。
六、四大资产管理公司类似于政策性银行,目前其设立之初的目的和作用在逐渐消退。金融租赁、担保这个行业发展迅速,可以考虑进入,当然,如果有在银行、证券的从业经历,进入到这个行业中应该更有作为。
七、在上市公司证券部的工作经历亦可,先天横跨证券产业两行,再要发展有立脚点。如果全程做过"IPO"筹备工作,对未来的职业生涯将更加有益,它对财务、产业分析能力要求较高,要加强这方面的学习。
八、高校、研究所是有志于做学术的同学的首选,这显而易见就不多说了。

金融业就业的主要有利因素:
1.在各行业的薪酬横向比较中,金融业的平均薪酬与福利最高。
2.在全民市场经济的氛围中,金融业的从业者可以感受到正在从事着一份“体面”的职业。
3.每日都工作在完全动态化的市场环境中。
4.有才华的员工可以得到快速的晋升。
5.优厚的待遇和休假福利。
6.低损耗率,行业平均志愿周转率为16%。 金融业就业的主要不利因素:
1.工作时间长,工作压力相对较大。
2.容易受商业及股票市场周期的影响。
3.大公司高度结构化的环境容易让人有被隔离和被忽略的感觉。
4.有些大公司不愿意改变程序和尝试新想法。
5.时常会面临“道德”与“利益”的两难选择。
6.金融业的体制完善,规章制度严格,不需要创新,只需要遵守。 金融业招聘综述:
1.招聘过程正规,尤其是投资组合经理和分析师工作职位的竞争激烈。
2.金融市场仍处在经济萧条和丑闻的双重打击所造成的不景气时期。虽然招聘仍在进行,但是力度不大。
3.拥有优秀的分析技能和技术技能的竞聘者受到广泛关注。
4.丰厚深蕴的人际关系是金融业职业发展的重要基础之一。
5.该行业需要的是非MBA学位毕业生,尤其是同时具有数学和统计学学位的金融专业毕业生,可以从事量化分析工作。

尽管全球经济仍未全面复苏,但中国金融企业在这次的冲击中却因祸得福跑到了整个行业的前茅,面对这新一轮的洗盘,中国的金融企业很可能因为走向世界的需要而扩大对于行业人才的招募。

---------------结论:天生我材必有用,关键是相信自己。专业现在并不是局限一个人求得发展的瓶颈了,在一个现代投资银行中甚至有一半以上的人士是非金融经济财务专业的人员,他们专业各异,有机械、通信、物理、法律,然而有一个相同点,他们都是相信自己,不服从命运安排,努力奋斗的人!这样的人,不论他是本科生也好,研究生也好,海归也罢,专业在这里并不能说明什么了,实际上大学所学的东西与我们的实际工作脱节太大,大到根本无法照搬来用,不具有可**作性,那么最重要的显然已经不是专业了,而是对一个职业、一个行业的热爱、**、勤奋、执着,这才是最重要的!在这里希望即将走向工作岗位的朋友们努力奋斗,自强不息!

Indian Financial Markets

...Abstract The paper talks about the primary market, FDIs, capital makets, banking sector and infrastructure financing as well. With all these elements in the India Financial market, it happens to be one of the oldest across the globe and is definitely the fastest growing and best among all the financial markets of the emerging economies. The history of Indian capital markets spans back 200 years, around the end of the 18th century. It was at this time that India was under the rule of the East India Company. The capital market of India initially developed around Mumbai; with around 200 to 250 securities brokers participating in active trade during the second half of the 19th century. The journey of Indian financial markets has been of many shades over the last decade. We have seen a lot of progress, but also significant pauses. Many twists and as many turns. Awe inspiring growth punctuated by its gasping lack of inclusiveness. Presumably, these are the teenage pangs of a free economy which is jostling for its rightful place in the Globe. The fastest free market economy is now face to face with the challenges and opportunities to opt for either slow and steady or fast and furious growth, in the next decade. Financial market You are fully aware that business units have to raise short-term as well as long-term funds to meet their working and fixed capital requirements from time to time.

...experience in IT and communications. Martin Umaran is the COO, and has a background in executive and business management for technology companies. Lastly, Nestor Nocetti is the VP of Corporate Services, with experience in the IT industry. The four engineers saw an opportunity to start their company with the rapid growth of the IT outsourcing industry in India and China. They recognized that Latin America’s advantages in labor quality, labor supply and time zone would give them a leg up on their competition, even though both India and China have lower labor cost. By exploiting these advantages, they were able to grow at a rapid pace. By 2009, Globant had over 1500 employees and was generating three million dollars per month in revenue. Despite their success, Globant found themselves at a crossroads. For four years the founders pursued clients that needed IT expertise in anything under the broad spectrum of IT services. However, the management team recognized that Globant needed to target specific industries to remain competitive in the market. The team therefore, narrowed their scope to four very distinct market segments for further analysis: high-tech, telecom, travel and financial services industries. Globant recognized that their diversified client portfolio was spreading resources too thin, and top clients began choosing IT service partners that focused on a specific industry where they could demonstrate a deep and wide understanding of a particular sector of the market.

When competing in payment services, Jack Ma and his team use their Chinese “guanxi” with key government officials and leaders in the Chinese banking industry to secure and process payment transactions. eBay has introduced its traditional payment method, Paypal, while Taobao has introduced a similar one, Alipay. Before 2007, the difference between Paypal and Alipay is the process of payment. Through Paypal, buyers pay directly to sellers, without any third party involvement...
