Where Is FINRA Products Representative Qualification Certification in Demand?
Honestly, the US and Canada still lead the pack when it comes to this certification, since most broker-dealers there need registered staff before letting anyone touch client product sales. But it is not just a North American thing anymore. Firms in the UK with dual registered desks, and even parts of Hong Kong and Singapore, are asking for people who meet FINRA standards because they deal with US-listed products regularly.
What surprised me is how Australia shows up too, mostly institutions handling US equity portfolios for local clients. It really comes down to where firms are connected to American markets in some way.
If you are thinking about going for this one, my honest tip is to check what kind of firm you want to work for first, since the value of this credential changes depending on whether you are aiming for a niche product desk or a full-service brokerage.
