Membership Status

Lapsed Membership

If you were previously a member but your membership has lapsed, reactivate your membership.

Retired Membership

If you meet the retired membership requirements on the retirement form (PDF), submit the form to CFA Institute. If you are currently a retired member but no longer qualify for retired status, request a return to full membership.

Retired membership includes access to all of the benefits of membership including online access to all publications and webcasts and print copies of Financial Analysts Journal and CFA Institute Magazine.

Discount Membership

In response to the market crisis the retired status requirements have been relaxed, and renewing members who are not currently employed due to market conditions can apply for a reduced rate by applying for “retired” status on the retirement form (PDF). Once you no longer qualify for "retired" status, request a return to full membership.
