CFA®, my findings... Plz tell me if i got this right!
So i am about to start a master in QFinance & Risk Mng (coming from a Bc in statistics) and i was looking to start studying for the CFA®. still be4 investing 1k hours (really it'll be less so because i've already covered part of the programs at university), i'd like some1 to check what i found about this exam.
1) CFA® vs MBA: as for the finance world, CFA®>Mba unless the mba is from a prestigious university [top 15 programs]
2) CFA® is primarly structured for future equity analysts, corporate analysts but still it may be a requirement for high level Risk Mng positions [like VP and above]
3) CFA® < Phd finance
4) if you wanna become a trader, it's pretty useless
5) if you wanna become a quantitative investment analyst, it MIGHT give you an edge vs those Finance Phd holders if you have a quantitative background
6) it's good for junior/starters
7) it gives more weight to your CV
8) it's a requirement for mutual funds
9) it doesn't grant a pass to hedge funds (equity oriented)
So, am i reasonably right? any major misunderstanding?
very helpful thank you
Yeah, you pretty much got it.
yup... the CFA desingation in a nutshell. nice work chap.
imho CFA is not greater than an MBA
If you want to move up beyond the analyst level in your career an MBA generally becomes essential
I would doubt on #5 but others look good
Your use of "plz" "be4" and "some1" makes me want to hold my breath until I die.
Otherwise, I'd say your assessment is fair.
