Because the person who recommended the CFP to me is a recently retired pension fund manager, so that doesn’t make sense.
Are you talking hedge funds? Because I have a friend who works at Blackrock who was hired because he has a CFP which got him his previous jobs at PWC and GS and was incredibly good with tax implications.
Mutual fund managers? I have a cousin who is one of those for a major brokerage. He doesn’t see the problem. He said it might not help but it certainly won’t hurt.
I could go on, but bottom line I’m pretty sure I’ll be fine.
