Financial Services Brokers

Unions and Associations

Financial services brokers are not members of unions. Several professional organizations provide useful resources to brokers. The CFA Institute offers certification and continuing education. The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority is the "largest independent regulator for all securities firms doing business in the United States." The Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association is a membership organization for financial firms, and it provides continuing education opportunities to financial industry professionals. The Investments & Wealth Institute and Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst Association offer certificate programs and other resources. International Association for Quantitative Finance offers membership for students and current professionals, a list of quantitative finance college programs and other student resources on its Web site, and professional development resources.
