About CFA 

The CFA® pro­gram is a qual­i­fi­ca­tion for the invest­ment indus­try cov­er­ing a broad range of invest­ment top­ics. The qual­i­fi­ca­tion is ideal for peo­ple work­ing as Ana­lysts or Asset Man­agers, but any­one want­ing to under­stand the work­ings of the finan­cial mar­kets from a the­o­ret­i­cal and prac­ti­cal per­spec­tive will find it use­ful. Through­out the three lev­els there is a strong empha­sis on build­ing ana­lyt­i­cal skills under­pinned by the high­est eth­i­cal stan­dards of behaviour.
Estab­lished in 1962, the CFA® pro­gram sets the global stan­dard for invest­ment knowl­edge, stan­dards and ethics. Pass­ing the CFA® exam­i­na­tion can help advance your career and shows that you, the char­ter­holder has mas­tered a broad range of invest­ment top­ics and is com­mit­ted to the high­est eth­i­cal stan­dards in the profession.

Once you have suc­cess­fully com­pleted the CFA® pro­gram, and sat­is­fied the cri­te­ria out­lined by CFA® Insti­tute, you will earn the right to use the CFA® des­ig­na­tion. Mem­bers tend to work at the fore­front of the finan­cial ser­vices indus­try and in par­tic­u­lar cor­po­rate finance, invest­ment man­age­ment, research, sales and trad­ing, broking and invest­ment banking.

With­out a doubt, earn­ing your CFA® char­ter will enhance your cred­i­bil­ity and com­pet­i­tive advan­tage in the global work­place, as well as con­nect­ing you to a global net­work of over 80,000 Charterholders.
