      Hello Siva,

      Thank you for your comment.

      You need to determine where your interest lies, how much in demand is that particular certification in the job market, what you want to be
      For example:

      1.Accounts & Taxation – CA
      2.Costing – ICWA
      3.Hardcore fundamental analysis – American CFA
      4.Hardcore personal FP(Financial Planning) – CFP
      5.Hardcore Wealth Mgt – CWM
      6.General Masters – MBA
      What you understand and enjoy doing as well, you need to find out for yourself.
      You must find out what a person with your background in insurance will have what kind of acceptability in the job market.
      If however you are looking for a 360 degree career perspective in Fianncial Markets you can enroll in: Online NSE Academy Certificate in Research, Trading & Advisory course on Elearnmarkets.
