“I enrolled primarily because a previous employer’s HR head said: ‘Now that you are marketing asset management products, you need to consider doing the CFA Program.’ In addition, the CFA Program is valued in China and I spend a fair amount of time there on business.”

“The CFA Program is a unique way of gaining in-depth knowledge of tools and concepts widely used in investment business today, across all asset classes, with a focus on the actual application rather than theory, and without having to leave your job. In addition, I feel it is the only professional designation where standards are maintained and constantly improved.”
