Investment banking without degree but ACA/CFA
Hi all,
Could anybody provide any insight into the likelihood of breaking into industries such as investment banking/ Private equity / Hedge funding?
I am currently 18 and opted to Persue the ACA as a school leaver in audit. I have intentions of moving into Deal Advisory/ M&A - hopefully whilst still completing my ACA as part of my apprenticeship. Upon completing my ACA I intend to attempt to complete the CFA, CAIA and potentially the CIPM.
Ultimately, I would like to work for either an investment bank or hedge fund.
Do I even stand a chance at breaking into any of these industries with the path I have chosen? I am aware that some universities will allow mature students to complete Masters with no undergraduate degree but ample experience and demonstration of strong knowledge - this is something I’m looking into, could I still be an eligible candidate with no Bachelors but either an MSc or an MFin?
Do either of these seem reasonable routes into the industries mentioned above?
Any input is appreciated - Thankyou
Just go to college and get your undergraduate. There’s no way around it. You’re 18, don’t make the same mistake as made. I guarantee you will regret if you don’t.
Pretty sure you can't even take the CFA unless you are a Junior and to be a charter holder, need your degree.
