Is there any value to taking the Series 3 Exam? I see no job postings asking for it.

  • The Series 3 exam allows an advisor to earn commission by trading commodities for their clients or selling managed futures.

  • Usually your company will ask you to take it, especially if you are trading futures for either customers or for the principal account. If for some reason there is a problem (customer or otherwise) and it turned out you were unlicensed, the firm would get in trouble. It is not a particularly difficult exam.

  • My series 3 has done more for me than my bachelor's degree.

  • Well, it's all relative. The value of the Series 3 license really depends upon whether or not one is interested in trading commodities/futures on behalf of one's clients. If the aim is simply to enhance one's resume, then a principal exam might be more appropriate (e.g, 4, 24, 53, etc.).
