CFA Society Sri Lanka reveals how to join the global network of CFA charterholders

CFA Society Sri Lanka has launched a webinar series titled ‘Join the Global Network of CFA charterholders’ to explore the opportunities and value of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation globally. 

The first webinar will be held on 25 May from 3:30 to 5 p.m.

The CFA Program is a professional qualification offered internationally by CFA Institute. It is a global gold standard qualification for the investment management profession. The program enjoys regulatory recognition from a number of regulatory bodies across the world.

A candidate who successfully completes the program and meets other professional requirements can acquire the CFA designation and become a ‘CFA charterholder’. Currently there are over 170,000 charterholders globally in 164 markets.

A spokesperson from CFA Society Sri Lanka said: “Acquiring the CFA charter allows one to gain analytical skills and expertise in quantitative methods, economics, financial reporting, investments analysis, and portfolio management. This set of skills and knowledge that one develops as you become a CFA charterholder will serve you well throughout your career as businesses demand these skills and knowledge in the current world.”

The top employers of CFA charterholders globally include JP Morgan, UBS, Royal Bank of Canada, BlackRock, and Goldman Sachs and Acuity Knowledge Partners, NDB Group, Fitch Inc. and Central Bank of Sri Lanka and HSBC in Sri Lanka.

The virtual conversation by a panel of experts will enlighten the value of CFA charter, path to join global network and value to employers globally.
