What is the best way to study for the CFA?
There are many companies that offer the review material for the CFA, but I am confused as to which one I shold buy. Since most of the materials costs between 800-900, I dont know which company I should go for. Righ tnow I am looking into either schweser or allen resources. Allen resources actually offers a money back guarentee if you do not pass, but I dont know anyone that has taken the CFA and passed.
Please help!
Answer: I passed the CFA exam in three successive tries.
I used Schweser. It was concise and to the point. No extra reading that I didn't need. I couldn't have passed without it. Of course, I still needed to study my brains out to pass, but it made it a lot easier.
I don't know about Allen Resources, so I can't really comment. However, people generally prefer Schweser & Stalla as the "Big 2" providers. Category: Other - Business & Finance
What is the average salary of a CFA graduate with no experience?
I am earning 60k. I finished my masters in Civil Engg. I find some places where the average salary of a CFA graduate with no experience is about 50k. So, is it like going a step down if I am taking CFA?
Answer: The CFA is never a step down. Since you already have a masters in civil eng I think you should focus on sector analysis (heavy machinery industry) in the context of capital markets, example, Catepillar's equity & debt offerings.
Alternatively, you can consider using your dual expertise to market yourself in the municipal bond career market. The muni bond industry is far reaching, from those who issue the bonds, to those who track and analyze the bonds, etc. Civil engineering plays a tremendous role in the world of muni bonds
Both suggestions above are more vast than you can possibly imagine and every state (I assume you're in the USA) has a muni bond career market. While this is good news, you will now have to develop the skills to pick out the best from the sea of opportunities. Read on.
Read the writings of analyst Tobias Levkovich, who has studied many businesses like Ingersoll Rand for many years. Google him if you don't know who he is. There are other influential names in this field - get familiar with them.
My intuition says you might have a tough go (timewise) finding a great career (because of your credentials), but once you land that dream career, the sweetness makes up for the pain and effort. My intuition also says it will behoove you enormously to network. It could behoove you to join relevant associations on line as well as to attend certain real life events sponsored by non profit groups. NFPs cross paths with Corporate America way more than the average joe realizes, which is why I recommend keeping an open mind. Just some ideas. imho, the more specialized you are, the better, because you compete with less people. In some cases, a specialty job market can be so small, it can be likened to a gated community (I happen to think that's way cool). If you look at my old specialized job on Wall Street there are approx only 90 people who do that job in a city of 8.27 million Category: Financial Services
How can I start to become a CFA charter holder?
Currently I work in accounting and just finished my first full year of real world experience. I have another year of an accounting internship under my belt and another 3 years of treasury experience managing a $400,000 annual budget for my fraternity. I graduated from a top tier university with sub-par grades, but that was due to working my way through school. I want to become a CFA, but currently have no direct investment experience. What should my next stepping stones be towards becoming a Financial Analyst?
Answer: www.cfainstitute.org
Read about the program and make sure it is right for you. Obtaining the charter requires passing 3 levels of exams, sufficient directly relevant work experience, and professional recommendations.
If your accounting experience is general accounting or auditing, it is not likely to count toward CFA work experience. I would also not expect frat treasury to meet the standard.
You really need to work in an investing job or a purely financial capacity. Signing up for the CFA program demonstrates a commitment to an investment career. Starting to pass the exams is a very positive demonstration of knowledge.
You should also join your local Security Analyst Society. Good networking opportunities. Useful classes including CFA prep courses. Most have a local jobs listing in addition to CFA jobline on the international site. Category: Other - Business & Finance

How and Where do i study for the CFA exam?
Ok, im going into college this is going to be my first year, I want to be a financial analyst. I am going for a bachelors degree in Finance, and possibly a MBA, but i want to know what should i read and study, just so i know what to expect on the CFA. Is their some good books, or a practice exam or something?
Answer: I've passed the first level of the CFA. As it sounds like you know, you can't sit for the exams until you have your degree, (or in your final semester, I think) There are all sorts of practice stuff out there, the two big ones are Stalla and Schweser, people argue which is better, don't get caught up in that now. I'd suggest to buy a year old set on ebay, don't buy the current year if your not actually studying for it, they say it changes, but the fundamentals are the same, so save the extra cash it cost and buy used for now.
As far as classes in college, I was an econ major, and had to put lots of hours, hundreds, into finance and accounting. So, you'll take plenty of finance classes, but make sure to take some accounting and econ too.
But more than anything focus on just doing good as undgrad!!! You can always get to this other stuff later. There's some respectable fall back plans, but what you probably want to be gunning for is for a job as an investment banking analyst right out of college. People who get these jobs don't waste their time with the CFA, because they're busy living the real thing. So, you got your question answered up top, but re-read this last paragraph, this is the real advice you want. Oh, and get good at excel, maybe get microsoft excel certified, that's a nice resume bullet point. Category: Financial Services

What is the difference between a CFP and CFA license?
I know that CFP is certified financial planner, and CFA is certified financial analyst, but these two licenses seem so similar to me, that I cant decide which one to pursue. What are the pros and cons to each of these? What are the requirements for attaining each of them? Also, for those of you who know the nature of the work of financial analysts and financial planners, could you please describe what their daily work responsibilities are? Is a job as an analyst simpler because youre just analyzing, instead of planning? If you know any additional factors to both these jobs, please let me know.
Answer: The two designations are similiar in a way, but very different as well. A CFP advises clients, generally individuals, on how to invest their assets. There are fee only planners or planners that get paid by getting clients to invest and get paid by the mutual fund company. The CFP designation is relatively easy to achieve.
Chartered Financial Analyst dseignation is a extremely difficult series of exams. The designation is generally geared toward people who want to be stock or bond analysts with the major investment houses or those who want to be portflio managers.
