Since the start of the program back in 1963, some 150,000 have been accredited as CFA ‘charterholders’ having successfully completed the three levels of testing and have met the professional work experience requirement of having at least four years of professional work experience related to investment industry.
The charter gives a strong understanding of advanced investment analysis and real-world portfolio management skills. CFA Institute sets the ethical benchmark for investment professionals around the globe which is known as the Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct (Code and Standards). The CFA Program is divided into three levels of exams (Level I, II and III).
