You want to hire the best in the investment management industry – employees who are highly skilled and defined by their ethical decision-making. The CFA® credential is the professional designation of choice for more than 17,000 investment firms worldwide.
In a word: Confidence. Earning the CFA charter is a highly selective process. Fewer than one in five candidates becomes a CFA charterholder. It takes an average of 1,000+ hours of rigorous study, along with four years of professional experience and successful completion of the CFA Program exam, to earn this distinction. So, when you hire a CFA charterholder, you know with confidence that you are bringing in talent, experience and ethics.
CFA® charterholders are trained in portfolio management, risk analysis, financial modeling, and valuation through a rigorous, globally recognized program. This intensive preparation builds a strong foundation for sound investment decision-making.
With a disciplined and research-driven approach, charterholders apply their expertise to help optimize performance and manage risk. Their deep knowledge supports long-term value for your clients.
CFA® charterholders adhere to the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct, committing to the highest levels of professionalism and integrity. Their decisions are guided by transparency and accountability.
By prioritizing fiduciary duty and client interests, charterholders foster lasting trust. This ethical foundation ensures clients can rely on them for honest, responsible financial guidance.
CFA® charterholders bring a deep understanding of international markets, economic trends, and regulatory environments, enabling them to support diversified, globally informed investment strategies.
Connected through the worldwide CFA Society® network, they share insights and best practices across regions. This global collaboration enhances their ability to guide growth in an increasingly interconnected financial landscape.
