Credentials
Why choose a
Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA)
There are a number of reputable and applicable
credentials that financial professionals may hold, but none is as rigorously focused on
investment knowledge as the CFA, offered by the CFA Institute. A
distinguishing characteristic of the certification of a CFA is its uncompromising emphasis
on analysis and the application of financial knowledge across core areas of the investment
process. A relevant and evolving curriculum, rigorous examinations, and a stringent code
of ethics and standards of professional conduct are the hallmarks of a CFA program.
