CHARTERED FINANCIAL ANALYST

 Chartered Financial Analyst: Overview

The CFA designation is given to investment professionals who have successfully completed the requirements set by the globally recognized CFA Institute. The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) programme is a training programme for financial executives to upgrade their skills in corporate financial management, investment management and financial services.

In the past a CFA in itself was not enough of a qualification to pursue a good career in finance. It was more of an additional qualification, which helped broaden and improve a candidate's career prospects. Today, however, the services of a certified financial analyst are being increasingly sought after. Professionals and executives, who complete the CFA programme in order to update their knowledge and enhance their expertise, have a distinct advantage.

Financial planners and financial analysts help guide businesses and individuals in making investment choices. Financial analysts evaluate the economic outlook of different sectors and industries for organizations that wish to invest.
