CFA + FRM + CAIA = ? Selena

I am curious, how much value does FRM and CAIA add on top of CFA?

Wendy01

it may show employers that you are collecting certificates only. One designation + CFA is enough

Hey there are many more. It’s just on AF that there are 3 main tabs.
There will always be someone who has more certificates, who is better and smarter than you.
So you are a loser! Think of a hacksaw now, get the planet  rid of your loser genes.

I wouldn’t bother with CAIA - unless you want to be a marketer.

Interesting! Life isn’t about certificates. In the pond, there will be plenty fishes. A super guy goes for the biggest fish in the ocean and flaunts it to the world. Others may catch plenty smaller fishes, but they will never be rated as the one who got the big fish.
Long and short……in your profession, find the biggest (most respected) certification and that should be it.

Unless your Asian, this is a waste of time.

Yeah definitely a waste of time and overkil. Maybe two certifications max. Have the CFA as your main certification and then something in a niche area like a CTP or something (but only if that is an area you work in). I would maybe consider the PRM because after you are a charterholder you can bypass the first two exams I believe. Maybe LIFA as well because you can move right to the third exam at your own choice, though I have no clue how much credibility the certification will have as it is relatively new.  Unless it is something that won’t take a substantial time commitment or relates to what you do on a day to day basis, I wouldn’t bother with it.
