The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) is an internationally recognized professional certification in the finance, banking, and securities industry. Once you are a CFA it means that you have passed exams covering a certain body of knowledge and agree to abide by a specific code of ethics. (Similar to a CPA in the accounting field.) Per AIMR, the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Program is a globally recognized standard for measuring the competence and integrity of financial analysts. Its curriculum develops and reinforces a fundamental knowledge of investment principles. Three levels of examination measure a candidate’s ability to apply these principles at a professional level. The CFA exam is administered annually in more than 70 nations worldwide.
