Check this for CFA registration. You need to create an online account first in CFA's website before you can register. You don't need any sponsor for registering into CFA exams, you just need to pay online.

To become CFA member, you need 2 sponsors, and one of the sponsors must be a CFA Charteredholder, another sponsor can be either a CFA Charteredholder or your boss.

But you need to pay fees to maintain your membership, so I suggest you only start to apply for CFA membership after you passed all the CFA exams and close to accumulate the 4-year relevant working experience.

You do not need a CFA qualification to work in product development or risk management. The name of CFA can tell, it is an analyst-oriented certification.

Hi guys. Is there anyone who is a CFA Charterholder in here or a member of CFA Malaysia?

I just passed my level 3 last week and wondering how to go about the next step.

Get 2 sponsors and apply for CFA Institute membership, then accumulate 4-year relevant working experience to upgrade to CFA Chartered.

Going to register for June 2012 by next month. Did they increase the fees?

i think the deadline for the next increase is 21st september

That's verbatim from their website. I know the part about the two sponsors. One's my supervisor and the other one is a regular member of the CFA association. So what do I request from my sponsors? Do I give them something, a form or email or anything? What would be required from them? And what if I don't know anyone who is a regular member with a CFA charter?

Not sure why I have not seen much jobs on jobstreet from IB stating CFA as a requirement.

Do they not advertise jobs that require CFA on jobstreet?

i think it's because those coverted jobs in IB are usually obtained by contacts and not advertised. lol

How's everyone preparation for the December exam? I'm just about to start & I'm thinking to start a FB group. Maybe all December Level 1 candidates to share, to ask or to interact and learn from each other.

Guys, does Kasturi help us to pay for registration and exam or need to by our self?


Anyone enrolled for nx june paper? When is the class at Kasturi starting for June 2012 batch?

I am not Kasturi's student but I don't think Kasturi is able to register the exam for you. You can only do it by yourself as Sunway told me that CFA does not permit tuition provider register on behalf of student. They can only register by themselves.

Sunway as in Sunway Uni? Are you taking CFA classes there or elsewhere?

i'm a student of segi collage in penang n i ask my consultant bout CFA exemption after i gets my degree in accounting n finance,she said i can b exempted for the 1st paper of CFA and do a thesis like project in my level 3 izit true?

since i read the previous chats saying there is no exemption for CFA papers..

Your consultant is bull shitting you.

You have been cheated by your consultant. A simple check through the CFA Institute will tell you that there are no exemptions given for any levels of the exam.

hi kinwing, since you had passed all 3 levels CFA, may I know that based on your experience,
is it sufficient if i just study the textbook given when i register for the CFA exam ?
or it is encourage to buy schweser or stalla ?
Thanks.

if u know the quality of CFA, then u will know there is nothing u can do to be exempted or bypassed some of the paper as this is the way to maintain the prestigious and quality

Cannot answer your question because this depends on individual's capability on studying. For myself, just studying the CFA books are more than enough, I don't even have extra time to read other non-CFA books.

by selfstudy u managed to pass? a lot of calculation focused questions ?
