John Thomas Cates
How is this counted?
Counted from the earlier of the person's first job or first state securities exam on their SEC record (currently the Series 63, 65 or 66). The SIE, futures exams and earlier firm registrations are not counted. The count runs to the end of their latest job, or this year if a job is still open. It includes every employer listed, even outside investment work, and any gaps between jobs. The SEC record lists jobs held in about the last 10 years, so jobs that ended before then are not counted. Years are counted by calendar year, so the figure can run up to a year high. This is not a measure of skill or quality.
