I am currently in the US and plan on relocating to SA. I have a business degree, CFA, and currently work as a research analyst managing money for institutional investors.

My question is in regards to trying to obtain a quota work permit.

Daxk had put up a link to scarce and critical skills lists for 2007. In this I would clearly fall under financial brokers (Financial Investment Advisers and Managers (inc Risk Analysts)) occupational grouping. However, the current quota system on the department for home affairs does not clearly map to this.

They have an area for Actuaries and risk assessors? Does risk assessors mean the same as risk analysts? Is there a scarce and critical skills listing that is more detailed than what is provided on the department of home affairs for 2008?

I had placed links to the docs however I am not allowed to post seeing as though I have under 4 posts. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
