How useful is the CFA for investment bankers?
What is the CFA?
The CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) designation is a professional certification granted by the CFA Institute, which tests and focuses on portfolio management, financial analysis, and generalist aspects of some other areas of finance. To become accredited, the candidate needs to:
1. Pass three six hours exams (which are called "levels": level I, level II and finally level III). The pass rates are typically about 40%-50%.
2. Have a bachelor degree minimum (or equivalent education or work experience)
Should I study a Master or an MBA?
If you want to break into investment banking or if you simply want to boost your career prospects and build a deeper expertise in finance, you may ask yourself what are the pros and cons of going to study an MBA or a Master. In reality, those degrees are very different: not only in terms of content, but also on terms of cost and job opportunities on graduation.
