I'm just saying that if you used the search bar, you'd clearly see that one constant thing among resume advice threads is to not put CFA level 1 candidate. It doesn't mean anything because you haven't passed anything yet, and maybe they're being facetious but I've heard my employers/other people on this forum say that they throw away the resumes that say that. And given your GPA is that low plus no work experience, you really need to cut down on any potential mistake you might have.

I like the unique take on being able to provide some info despite having no relevant work experience. First off, I believe 'MS Suit' should say 'MS Suite'.

Other than that - I would better clarify your 'Qualifications' section. You describe these experiences of building portfolios and running trading strategies, but there isn't any context - were these side projects? Did you deploy capital? Were these assignments at school? Also try to quantify your qualifications section; as it is, it's quite a dense wall of text with no numbers, making it difficult to scan through quickly.
