Financial Advisors and Math

<p>What kind of math do financial advisors use and how do they use it? Do you need to be an exceptional math student to become an advisor?</p>

<p>It depends on the services you provide. Basic math and a little algebra to pass the test is about it. If you’re into research, portfolio management Your talking algebra and statistics. Trading and fund management you’re probably getting into calculus. You should really understand the products you sell and advise on so you should have some calculus in your background and some statistics. If you sell only mutual funds or annuities pre-packaged by another investment adviser you just need to know how to walk and chew gum. </p>
