CFA資格認(rèn)證持有人(CFA Charter holder)是獨(dú)有的全球公認(rèn)的投資管理從業(yè)人員高職業(yè)水平和道德水準(zhǔn)的有力證明,是金融界卓越專業(yè)成就的象征;CFA資格強(qiáng)調(diào)和遵循極其嚴(yán)格的職業(yè)操守和道德準(zhǔn)則,世界各主要發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家相關(guān)行業(yè)都將CFA作為金融行業(yè)操守高水平人員的衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn),包括中國(guó)在內(nèi)的投資界專業(yè)人士,越來(lái)越認(rèn)識(shí)到該資格在職業(yè)誠(chéng)信認(rèn)證的價(jià)值。

如何成為CFA資格認(rèn)證持有人呢?具體申請(qǐng)步驟如下:

一、擁有四年(48個(gè)月)與投資相關(guān)工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)

1.工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)需要涉及到:

評(píng)估或應(yīng)用金融財(cái)務(wù),經(jīng)濟(jì),或統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)據(jù)為投資運(yùn)作提供決策;涉及證券或類似的投資工作(例如公開(kāi)上市和私募股票、債券、抵押貸款及其衍生品;基于有價(jià)商品的衍生品和共同基金;商品和其他投資資產(chǎn),如房地產(chǎn)和大宗商品,多元化的投資組合,有價(jià)證券的投資組合等)。

從事投資活動(dòng)的咨詢、教學(xué)指導(dǎo)工作。職位本身的名稱不能直接決定是否被CFA協(xié)會(huì)認(rèn)可,主要是日常工作中涉及到的職務(wù)內(nèi)容必須50%以上和投資決策相關(guān)的才是被認(rèn)可。如果所從事的工作在以下舉例的職位以外,但工作中涉及的職務(wù)內(nèi)容和投資決策相關(guān),亦可提供詳細(xì)的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)給CFA協(xié)會(huì),也是被認(rèn)可的。

2.如何描述工作經(jīng)驗(yàn):

提交協(xié)會(huì)認(rèn)可的工作崗位名稱;

自我工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)是否能得到協(xié)會(huì)認(rèn)可,即工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)自我評(píng)估

成為CFA協(xié)會(huì)的正式會(huì)員必須滿足:

6.交納會(huì)員費(fèi):

會(huì)員標(biāo)準(zhǔn)年費(fèi)為:275美元;

已是退休狀態(tài)的會(huì)員年費(fèi)為:100美元;

分會(huì)的會(huì)員費(fèi)是多樣的,可參考具體所屬分會(huì)會(huì)費(fèi)交納標(biāo)準(zhǔn),查看各地分會(huì)信息請(qǐng)點(diǎn)擊:local CFA society

CFA協(xié)會(huì)與分會(huì)的會(huì)員費(fèi)一旦交納,不可退費(fèi),不可轉(zhuǎn)讓會(huì)費(fèi)。

三、宣誓遵守《職業(yè)道德規(guī)范及職業(yè)行為標(biāo)準(zhǔn)》

四、申請(qǐng)加入當(dāng)?shù)胤謺?huì)

申請(qǐng)成為CFA持證人需要需要4年被認(rèn)可的專業(yè)工作經(jīng)驗(yàn),不論是參加CFA考試前、考試中、考試后積累的直接參與投資決策過(guò)程或者為投資決策過(guò)程提供支持等相關(guān)工作,但有些考生還是不太清楚某些職業(yè)的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)是是否滿足,下面就總結(jié)了這么一份被CFA協(xié)會(huì)認(rèn)可的工作職位及具體的描述。
