CFA Program Benefits

The CFA Program provides a strong foundation of the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in today’s competitive world of investing and finance.

Unlike most graduate school programs, the self-study format of the program allows you to continue working full time as you progress towards earning the CFA charter.

Candidates for the CFA Program include students entering the investment field, professionals increasing their expertise and marketability, and people making a career change into the investment profession from other disciplines.

Whatever your reason for enrolling, when it comes to accessing opportunities in the investment profession, there's no equivalent to earning the CFA charter. You won’t find a more cost-effective or well-respected credential program that better prepares you to meet the challenges of today’s world of professional investing.

Global Recognition

Nearly 90,000 CFA charterholders work in over 130 countries
Over 100 universities use parts of the curriculum in their courses
Numerous regulators accept the CFA charter as a proxy for many licensing requirements
Global media recognition of the CFA charter and CFA Institute events

If you are looking for an investment credential that will earn you instant credibility and respect anywhere in the world, look no further than the CFA charter.

Awareness of the CFA charter has grown considerably since it was first offered in 1963 as a means for investment professionals to prove their expertise and demonstrate their commitment to integrity.

Today, with nearly 90,000 CFA charterholders working in over 130 countries around the world, the CFA charter is widely recognized by investors, investment practitioners, employers, regulators, and the media as the highest educational standard in the investment community.

Each year, tens of thousands of candidates enroll in the CFA Program and sit for the exams in test centers all over the world. More than 100 colleges and universities around the world have incorporated parts of the CFA Program curriculum into their own courses.

Regulatory bodies in many countries require investment professionals to pass one or more levels of the CFA Program to practice in their jurisdictions. Some even recognize the designation as a proxy for meeting certain licensing requirements.

Furthermore, widespread media coverage of the CFA Program and CFA Institute activities, like the Global Investment Research Challenge for university students, has helped further establish the CFA charter as the most reliable measure of ethics and expertise in the minds of employers, individual investors, and global institutions.

Why employers notice

As the marketplace becomes more competitive, employers recognize the CFA charter as a reliable way to differentiate the most qualified, up-to-date, and determined job applicants, frequently listing the CFA charter as a job requirement in advertisements.

They know that the CFA Program provides the skills needed to succeed in the workplace and that earning the CFA charter demonstrates the persistence, flexibility, and hard work required of today’s investment professionals.

Employers cite the extensive knowledge charterholders possess in investment topics outside their own specializations as one of the primary reasons for hiring them. Additionally, because the CFA Program’s rigorous curriculum emphasizes principles common to every market, employers recognize that CFA charterholders have a broad investment perspective and a profound understanding of the global marketplace.

As a CFA charterholder, you are an asset to your firm and you can enhance its respect and marketability. That is why many employers provide financial assistance to staff that enroll in the program.
