[quote=pjrrider]My brother thinks that the branch manager at one of AG Edward’s branches is extremely knowledgeble and a good account manager because he (AGE BM) has been at AGE for 10 plus yrs and IS a branch manager.



Is there something special about a branch manager at AGE’s that would make him a superior account manager over any other Reg Rep or IAR?



Perhaps this branch manager is a branch manager because he is brilliant and really knows how to deal with customers, determine their values, determine their goals, and grow the clients’ investments at the lowest cost (to the investor).



What are the qualifications of a branch manager? Specifically at AGE?[/quote]'

It means that he is a good manager, or at least a good politician, or was in the right place at the right time.

It has nothing to do with his acumen as an investment manager.

Tell your brother that My Inner Child said that he's a moron.
