Hi, I'm fresh to CFA. Would like to ask whether does the 4 years of working experience recognise audit/advisory experience in Big4? Can the 4 years be cumulatively rather than consecutively?

tohff7, could u pls PM me the link as well. If you have the link for level 1 study materials pls send them to me as well. Thanks a lot.

hi guys,
just wanna know.. what you guys put in the ''state'' column during registration?

i only see something like AA, AE, CA ...

That code is for US states only.

I'm too lazy to keep sending PMs. Just get stuffs abt CFA here.

Man, that's a great resource.

Almost everything's consolidated and it one place.

Yeah but Stalla 1, 2 and 3 are 100+KB per book? Hmm.. I thought should be tens of MB.

Don't know. Didn't read Stalla

No, 2.5 years is Level 1, 2, & 3 all in June. Your above example is 2 years.

which model of calculators you guys using now for the exam?

BA II plus

OR

HP 12C

BA II Plus

Is there something other than CFA which is more relevant for someone interested in joining the investment field? Especially for someone who does not have a relevant basic degree.

lastrites> u can try doing CFP

Isn't CFP more suited for those interested in Sales?
What I actually meant was for someone interested in becoming an investment banker. How much would the CFP certification help in the case of someone who does not have a relevant degree? I've read up a bit on the CFP and it seems only a small part of the topics have to do with IB.

In your case most likely an MBA from a good place will help.

Since you don't have a degree, you'll need work experience.

I read in the newspaper (The Star Recruitment) that some of the local investment banks (e.g MayBank) do take in people with accountancy background (e.g., ACCA, CIMA, CA) for their investment position.

Having said that CFA is still the Gold Standard for Investment related profession.

Personally, when I read investment report, I tend to put more faith in those prepared by CFA holder.

CFP is more geared towards preparing students for retail advisory role vis-a-vis institutional. CFA is the back room whereas CFP will be the front desk.
