Value of the CFA potential, regarding, anything, benefits, finance

cross-ied

With the recent proliferation of posts regarding the benefits of the CFA charter, I’m wondering if a devil’s advocate approach is indicated. Does anyone here think that some individuals might choose to discourage potential candidates in order to keep the number of charterholders low? It is not that hard to write a post which sounds authentic. I have never met anyone in any realm of finance, charterholder or not, who says that the CFA designation is anything short of elite.

Interesting–thanks for the link. I’m looking for something a little different from potentially having the Charter relative to most on this board but you have to respect the time and effort it will take to fully pass the curriculum. That is an intriguing stat about the June numbers. I am sure it has CFAI attention.

It sort of reminds me of long-term residents of Boulder CO discouraging people from moving there.
