Hi I was wondering if anyone knew anything about becoming a C.F.A.(certified financial analyst) How many modules is it? Generally how long does it take? what's the cost? do you need to be sponsored? I tried googling it but nothing came up
consider CAIA (Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst) instead, much more interesting material, can be earned in a year.

Does it carry as much weight?
Quote from ramora:
Would prop trading qualify as 'relevant work experience'? Would trading an individual account full time for 3 years count?
Anyone?
Thank you
1) Yes, prop trading experience qualifies.
2) Yes (I fall in to this category myself, and some above), self-employed individuals, such as those trading their own account may have their work experience count toward the charter requirement. However, if you're self-employed, you need 3 sponsors with CFA rather than the usual 2.
As for whether the Charter expires like licenses - no. You are a holder of the designation so long as you pay the annual dues (and do not violate their rules blah blah). But ex-charterholders can reapply without having to write the exams again.
P.S. Copernicus, out of curiosity, do you have CAIA's charter? Or are you in any way associated with them? You seem to be promoting it quite often on this board.
