Asset Manager Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a asset manager in California?

Most asset manager roles in California require a bachelor's degree in finance, economics, or accounting as the foundation. If your role involves providing investment advice for compensation, California requires registration as an Investment Adviser Representative through the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation, with the Series 65 exam as the standard qualifying exam. Earning a CFA charter significantly strengthens your candidacy, particularly in institutional and real estate asset management.

Which companies hire asset managers in California?

Employers hiring asset managers in California right now include KPMG, Macy's, and Qcells, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. California's concentration of large institutional investors, real estate investment trusts, and wealth management firms means demand is spread across both global headquarters and major regional offices throughout the state.

Which California cities have the most asset manager jobs?

Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Irvine have the most asset manager openings in California. Los Angeles drives volume through its large real estate investment trusts and entertainment-linked wealth management firms, San Francisco reflects its density of institutional investment firms and venture-adjacent portfolio managers, and San Diego anchors demand through its concentration of defense-sector pension funds and biotech-linked institutional investors.

Are there remote asset manager jobs in California?

Yes, and more than many financial roles, since asset management is largely analytical and desk-based. About 62% of asset manager openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how much of the work centers on modeling, reporting, and client communication rather than on-site property or facility oversight. Portfolio analysis and client reporting functions are most commonly offered with remote flexibility.

How can I get hired as a asset manager in California with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is through a junior analyst or portfolio associate role at a California-based investment firm, bank, or real estate investment trust. Large California employers such as PIMCO, Nuveen, and major regional banks regularly bring on associates through structured rotational programs. Starting in adjacent roles like financial analyst, credit analyst, or property analyst positions at California REITs or institutional funds provides a direct bridge, and completing the CFA Level I exam early signals commitment that outweighs limited experience.

Where can I find and apply to asset manager jobs in California?

You can find and apply to asset manager jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings tied to California employers and locations. Search the available roles, find the ones that fit your background and target area, and apply directly to each one.
