The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Community, an association that connects all CFA members in Cambodia, was officially launched on Friday.
Ratana Phurik-Callebaut, chairperson of the CFA Community, told Khmer Times via email yesterday that the association will connect all CFA members, potential candidates and investment professionals in the Kingdom.
It will also promote the CFA programme by providing all the necessary support to CFA candidates, she said.
The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Programme is a professional credential offered internationally by the American-based CFA to investment and financial professionals.
The self-study, graduate-level programme covers a broad range of topics relating to investment management, financial analysis, stocks, bonds and derivatives, and provides a generalist knowledge of other areas of finance.
A candidate who successfully completes the programme and meets other professional requirements is awarded the “CFA charter” and becomes a “CFA charterholder”.
On the programme, Ms Ratana said it is the “golden standard” in certification for investment professionals and is widely accepted throughout the world.
