In Canada, to be able to sell this stuff (even in non-advisory roles) there's a whole section on Fiduciary Duty and Know Your Client. Throw that right back in their face if they get on you about moving accounts. Also, calculate the returns yourself because they like to cherry pick dates and use other
I was on track to get into portfolio management, but when I got to sit with some Certified Financial Planners I quickly learned that they're just mut fund hucksters who are really more interested in trying to sell you other products (insurance, mortgage/car loans). There's absolutely no focus on optimizing expenses during saving or retirement years. Also to make any money as a CFP you need a book of about 1000 clients, there's no way you could properly serve all of them.
The nail in coffin for me was that the more research I did, the more evidence pointed towards indexing. like so overwhelmingly so that I would never be able to sell a managed portfolio to someone without feeling sick.
Also, atleast in canada, the majority of Financial Advisors (the guy at the bank branch that sells mut funds) has only one course about investing, that the majority of people on these boards would pass easily.
