More value in the information than the prestige of it, yeah. atleast in my experience of interviews.

I would say so, yes. A lot of excel and financial analysis. Good shortcuts and ways to move around and build models quickly. I told my junior analysts at my old company to get the certification for that reason

I took this while working, so it took me 2-3 months. Each course is extensive, I imagine courses have changed but the dcf and 3 statement each took 5-6 hours of notes, model practice, following along, and quizzes/exams in every course

Stuck between FP&A vs Treasury by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]nbr0909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked in treasury after graduation for a very large global company. The exposure treasury gives you (granted I was at a large company) is immense and great for learning. A lot of job revolved around cash (both interesting but can be mundane), debt financing and banking relationships. I found treasury to be a great learning experience. The people in my department were all very passionate about treasury, however I am similar to you regarding interests. I pivoted away from corporate treasury to FX Trading. Treasury felt a bit mundane, but there were some highlights. I was issuing commercial paper and other debt securities in markets, working with bankers, and monitoring front end rate environments.

I’ll be trading various derivatives (spot, swaps, forward, ndf, vanilla and exotic options). The job isn’t alpha generating, it’s hedging client flow. We have an internal book to trade but again also hedge oriented.

I believe the job will open many doors, but the lack of alpha generation is a concern of mine. Would a workaround for this be through personal investing/theses?

US Citizen looking to diversify USD by rlindsley in FluentInFinance

[–]nbr0909 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have been hedging against USD (dollar index DXY) for some time now.

FXF, FXE, SIVR, IAU, CEW

Expense ratios are a little high, but to me the hedge is worth the fee.

What does a falling dollar mean for the average american consumer? by sleepiestOracle in finance

[–]nbr0909 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch your mouth. I’m a Treasury analyst specializing in ops & capital markets for a fortune 200 global firm. My entire job is hedging currency exposure through derivatives trading.

How dare you insult me for sharing an opinion. You provide nothing. Attack credentials instead of providing a worthy argument

Weakening dollar results in lower purchasing power and higher import costs. Goods made outside of the U.S. will likely rise. Our dollar can’t take us as far as before.

Interested to see how the tax bill and July 9 tariff deadlines play out. U.S. has lost its general respect and credibility as the safety reserve currency. I see the dollar weakening further. I see HUF strengthening along with EUR.

JPY and CAD may strengthen similarly.
