Investment Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a investment in Minnesota?
Most investment roles in Minnesota require passing FINRA licensing exams, most commonly the Series 7 and either the Series 65 or Series 66, which are overseen by the Minnesota Department of Commerce for investment adviser representatives. A bachelor's degree in finance, economics, or accounting is the standard entry requirement. Investment adviser representatives working with Minnesota clients must register with the Minnesota Department of Commerce unless employed by a federally covered adviser.
Which companies hire investments in Minnesota?
Companies currently hiring investments in Minnesota include Piper Sandler, Thrivent, and Travelers, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Minnesota's concentration of insurance holding companies, large regional banks, and independent registered investment advisers makes it one of the more diverse investment hiring markets in the Midwest.
Which Minnesota cities have the most investment jobs?
Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and Plymouth have the most investment openings in Minnesota. The Minneapolis-Saint Paul metro dominates because it is home to the headquarters of Ameriprise Financial, U.S. Bancorp, and Allianz Life, while Rochester draws investment talent through the financial services firms that support its large medical and professional workforce.
Are there remote investment jobs in Minnesota?
Yes, and more than many finance fields. About 94% of investment openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting a broad shift among RIAs and asset managers toward flexible work arrangements. Research, analysis, and financial planning roles tend to be the most remote-compatible, while client-facing advisory and trading positions typically require regular in-office or on-site availability.
How can I get hired as a investment in Minnesota with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is joining a large Minnesota-based firm as a financial analyst associate or wealth management associate, where on-the-job study for FINRA licensing is often supported. Ameriprise Financial and U.S. Bancorp run structured associate programs for candidates without direct investment experience. Coming from an adjacent role in retail banking, accounting, or financial planning support gives candidates a strong platform. Earning a CFA Level I or completing a CFP coursework program before applying adds a competitive edge with most Minnesota hiring managers.
Where can I find and apply to investment jobs in Minnesota?
You can find and apply to investment jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current Minnesota openings across the Twin Cities, Rochester, and surrounding areas. Find roles that fit your experience and specialization and apply directly to each listing.
