Research analyst

June 5, 2023

As per reports, many finfluencers are now “renting out” research analyst (RA) licences for a fee.
- A finfluencer — as a financial influencer is usually called — is one who gives the ordinary investor information and advice on an array of financial topics such as stock market trading, personal finance and mutual funds.
Several finfluencers were quoted in the report as saying that their applications are being rejected as RA regulations are very strict in India.
Currently, in India, to become a registered RA, a person must hold a post-graduate degree or a professional qualification and market experience of five years.
- However, most finfluencers do not meet this criterion.
