I've joked in the past that I wanted my business card to read "Heywood Jablowmi, BFD, HFS, KoK, MoA" but this is actually kinda about to become an issue. CAIA results just came out this afternoon and somehow I passed?
Now I'm up to having the CFA Charter, my CFP and the CAIA. Should I list them all? Does the CAIA go second or third? For what it's worth, I'm mid-career with one published paper.

Imo, just put your name. Leave the designations on a separate line below your job title or on a corner of the card.
Depends a little on your audience.....if you work in banking, PE, HF, corporate etc. Name and one designiation.
If you're like a private wealth guy serving clients who don't understand all the acronyms, have as many as you want.
However, never have MBA.....for the love of God...anything but that.
Yeah all the people from the crappy T50 schools put MBA after their name. No one from T20 or M7.
Depends on industry - most of those titles are easy. Only exception is the cfa which I’d consider putting
3 letters
So I should just stick with BFD (Big Effin Deal?)
How old are you and what’s your net worth?
What are you taking all of these tests for? Are you trying to be an academic or what’s the end goal here?
I’d only bother with the CFA as that’s the most recognizable as like “oh yeah this is a tough thing to get, good on him” but it’s not that impressing anyone for a job in IB/PE/Corporate. I don’t know enough about the public markets to know how these would be useful there, maybe a quanty thing?
Stop fucking taking tests lmao - only MBA or CFA matter, but please dear god don’t add MBA to your name titles.
