Expected. It's a collaboration between Sunway TES and AB Maximus. They will need to charge higher, if not, cannot break even/profit. But do you know the figures they are charging?

Just curious. which one do you think is a better option. CFA or MBA?I am currently an IT Professional who is very interested to get into Finance. Need some advice. Also can you tell me if I get into finance. Would they take into consideration the experience that I have in IT?

If I'm not mistaken, Sunway is offering RM 3.5k while KSA is offering RM 4.3k last I checked 2 years back. Assuming you did not qualify for KSA's fee reduction, Sunway is actually cheaper than KSA.

Can't comment on Noesis since I don't really know their rates.

taking CFA is a very specialized field, whereas an MBA teaches u the umbrella scope of managing a business. if u like in-depth finance stuffs, cfa is a good choice for u. CFA won't look at experience if you have any sort of degree..

Portfolio Management -- Yes
Foreign currency securities -- only in derivative contracts.

just those 3 don't make up to 30% of your exam scores...if u plan to pass, just focus financial statement analysis, corporate finance & ethics. more than enough to get a pass for your level I.

No, level 1 doesnt teach u how to price an option, no Black-scholes, no binomial pricing model.

Focusing only on FSA, CF, and Ethics is only about 50%. u will need ur Quants, Economics, Equity & Fixed Income

So what is the prospect of getting a CFA. Is it possible to get a finance job upon completion?
Thanks

Possible ... yes
Guarantee ... No

no such things as guarantee even u r harvard or oxford grad..

Thats crazy. You cannot find pirated textbook in hk. All prices are according to official one. Even the photocopy shop won't help you to do the photocopying.

However, you can always "import" some book from taobao, type in CFA there and you can get high quality pirated materials at around Rm70, including 5 text book + a lot of bs*

Wanted to ask,if i were to take CFA,would i need to reg myself or tuition center can do for us?

and,been reading awhile,Kasturi and inti,can i knw where else got provide CFA course?coz been googling,nth come up...thz all

You will have to register for the exam by yourself. Currently, Kasturi & Noesis are offering tuition classes for the CFA program. I heard from a forumer that Sunway TES is going to offer Level 1 classes for the Dec 2011 exam.

Hi, I have just registered for CFA Level I exam in Dec 2011. Am just wondering if anyone here who had taken the June 2011 exam would like to sell their Schweser notes? Kindly PM me. Thank you!

Anyone willing to sell me their Schweser CFA Level I 2011? PM me

hi, i am a STPM graduate, currently working in investment operation field, and planning to study part time while working, i am very interested in CFA, do u guys think i should get CFA straight away or ACCA then only CFA? cause if i dont get CFA, it seems like i dont have a degree, what do u guys think?

You need to be at least a final year student of a degree program to take Level 1. I recommend you to take ACCA and get yourself the OBU degree to qualify yourself for the CFA Level 1 and 2.

im sorry, but what's OBU?

oxford brookes uni. u cna get a degree from this uni after u finish ur part 2 acca and completing a thesis

Hey in Malaysia only kasturi offering CFA?

read the last two page of this thread or just google it pls

so is it possible that i stop my ACCA once i get the degree from OBU? im a STPM graduate, wanna do part time ACCA while working full time, which college or uni would u recommend?
