What? I've never heard this before. Sounds rather ridiculous. CFA® doesn't make you a good trader... if you work for a bank, that's a different story. You cant trade unless you get approved, unless... You trade spot fx or bitcoins, which I was told during my banking days.
ikr! only trading makes one a good trader. but, in getting my foot in the door at hedge funds I thought I would do the CFA® instead of a Masters. However, there is no chance if doing so would prevent me from trading my own account
Yeah I dont know who told you that... definately not true. Besides you're talking about becoming a portfolio manager... traders at hedge fund are mostly doing execution, talking to the sell side, providing color, etc and assisting the PM.
out of interest what qualifications would you recommend for trading
lol....nothing makes you qualified to be a trader other than time spent trading.
what you have listed, to a trader, looks like a very expensive book club hobby.
