Number of Charterholders does not diminish the value..there are millions of CPA's, CA's, etc..they are still highly regarded in their respective fields.

While a CFA Charter is not highly regarded in North America for fields other than Equity Research and Portfolio/Asset Management, in emerging markets particularly in Asia & Middle East, its a substitute for an MBA considering these regions have very few globally recognized universities which are ranked high.

If you're in finance, have worke experience in North American markets, London, Singapore, etc., and hold a CFA charter, you're set in emerging market countries.
