The securities industry and the fund industry are both entrance exams in the financial field. In the annual registration stage, many candidates will compare the securities industry and the fund industry, so what is the difference between the two industries? Let's have a look.

First, the examination subjects are different.

1. Securities qualification examination includes general qualification examination, special business qualification examination and senior management qualification examination. Here we mainly talk about the first two, among which the general qualification examination includes two subjects, namely, the basic knowledge of financial market and the basic laws and regulations of securities market; There are three types of special business qualification examinations. The examination subjects are respectively the sponsor representative's competent subject investment banking, the securities analyst's competent subject publishing securities research report and the securities investment consultant's competent subject securities investment consulting. Candidates can choose subject exams according to their career direction.

2. The qualification examination for funds is divided into three subjects, of which subject 1, Fund Laws and Regulations, Professional Ethics and Business Norms, is a compulsory subject, and subject 2, Basic Knowledge of Securities Investment Funds and subject 3, Basic Knowledge of Private Equity Investment Funds, can be certified by passing one subject.

Second, the validity period of grades is different.

The results of the general qualification examination of securities are permanently valid, and the results of the special examination of securities are valid for 3 years, but they must participate in training every year.

However, the results of the fund qualification examination are not permanent and valid, and the validity period is only four years. That is to say, if a candidate only passes one of them, then he must pass one or two of them within four years before he can apply for fund qualification. If the time limit is exceeded, the result will be judged invalid.

Third, the financial industry entry-level certificate

Now securities and fund business are inseparable. The securities qualification examination and the fund qualification examination are both entrance examinations to enter the financial industry, and they are also required certificates, and the difficulty coefficient is not high. If friends' time and energy allow, it is recommended to take both certificates, so there are more choices on the road to employment.
