Chandan Dutta

Abstract


An individual with a post-graduate degree in Finance usually chooses one of two career options. He can either pursue a Ph.D. In Finance or a related subject and start a career in academics or an individual can join an organization in the financial services sector.

A more assured career prospect can be that of an investment counsellor to the unsophisticated investor who may not have access to expensive trading houses or brokerage companies.
