Int Cfa is the best.MS finance is ok for knowledge but that degree will be unable to fetch salaries in the amrket.

Its ok for knowledge but that will not guarantee you a job. Correspondence MBA means very little if you want to monetize that degree but it is a good supplement to your existing Resume.
 
Why not look at a part time evening MBA instead?

Hey All

 
I have started with the CFP course abt 6 mths back and let me tell you its immensely useful in all areas of life. Be it personal finance planning to working in a firm, managing portfolios, or clearing job interviews.
 
CFP, i feel, is far better than CA or CS. I have seen many ca's n cs who after completing the course and being so qualified cant even answer the basic questions abt investment planning like CAGR, Jensen, sharpe, capital market line etc.
 
This course is highly recommended to all.

Dear Sir,

 
I want to start equity research advisory business in India. It would only provide consultancy on equity investment opportunities and NOT manage portfolio like Portfolio Management Services (PMS)/Mutual Funds (MF's). I already have an MBA (Finance) and have 6 years experience in banking. My experience was not directly related to equity research. I would like to know; for professionally starting this business, do I need any certification/license from SEBI or any other government body? I am aware about certification courses by All India Mutual Fund Association (AMFI), Certified Financial Planner (CFP), NFCM Certification for depositary participants. However feel that I don't need any of these courses for knowledge purpose. I am only looking for any certificate that would give me license/ authorization to conduct this business legally. I can't exercise the option to open PMS by registering with SEBI due to high net worth criteria requirement. Would appreciate your suggestion on this. Thanks.

If you are trying to sell subscription then I presume no mandatory certification is necessary but for a pms one needs to have a sebi registration. Please check up on this since my information is unconfirmed.
