the fees are a write-off and you get 6 copies of FAJ and 6 copies of your Society’s magazine. Without the CFA designation, I’d end up paying over $100 a year in magazine subscriptions anyway and wouldn’t have any letters to put after my name. as long as they remain under $500 in today’s dollars (currently are $425 where i’m at), i have no complaints. call it a charitable donation if you want and move on.
