What is the CFA Program

CFA stands for Chartered Financial Analyst. It is a professional designation that is internationally recognized and awarded by the CFA Institute.

The CFA program is a course of study that covers a broad range of topics related to financial analysis, investment management, and portfolio management. The program consists of three levels, each of which requires a significant amount of study and preparation.

Candidates who successfully complete all three levels of the CFA program, meet the required work experience, and adhere to the CFA Institute's Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct are awarded the Chartered Financial Analyst designation.

CFA charterholders are considered to be well trained in investment analysis and portfolio management and are employed by a wide range of organizations, including investment management firms, banks, and consulting firms.
