What/Why CFA® Charter & How Can We Help?                           

          Administered by the US-based CFA Institute, the Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) Program is a graduate-level and globally recognised program for investment specialists. The resulting professional credential/designation assures clients, employers, and colleagues that you -as a charterholder, have mastered a rigorous finance and investment management curriculum; further that you are committed to the highest ethical standards in the profession. It is indeed, the most sought-after qualification by employers in the corporate finance and investments space.

          Syllabus & Exam Structure

          CFA® Syllabus Structure - All Levels

          The CFA® Program is structured into 3 challenging levels: 

          • Level I  (knowledge and understanding of investment tools and techniques);

          • Level II  (application of investment tools and techniques to asset valuation) and 

          • Level III (synthesis and evaluation of investment tools and techniques in the context of portfolio management and wealth planning).

          The above 3 levels are underpinned by a network of progressively challenging Learning Outcome Statements (LOSs), founded on 10 syllabus topic areas:  

          1. Ethics & Professional Standards; 

          2. Quantitative Methods; 

          3. Economics; 

          4. Financial Statement Analysis; 

          5. Corporate Finance; 

          6. Equity Investments; 

          7. Fixed Income; 

          8. Derivatives; 

          9. Alternative Investments; and
