Whatever your reason for enrolling, when it comes to accessing opportunities in the investment profession, there's no equivalent to earning the CFA charter. You won’t find a more cost-effective or well-respected credential program that better prepares you to meet the challenges of today’s world of professional investing.

• Global media recognition of the CFA charter and CFA Institute events

If you are looking for an investment credential that will earn you instant credibility and respect anywhere in the world, look no further than the CFA charter.

Today, with nearly 90,000 CFA charterholders working in over 130 countries around the world, the CFA charter is widely recognized by investors, investment practitioners, employers, regulators, and the media as the highest educational standard in the investment community.

Each year, tens of thousands of candidates enroll in the CFA Program and sit for the exams in test centers all over the world. More than 100 colleges and universities around the world have incorporated parts of the CFA Program curriculum into their own courses.

Regulatory bodies in many countries require investment professionals to pass one or more levels of the CFA Program to practice in their jurisdictions. Some even recognize the designation as a proxy for meeting certain licensing requirements.

Furthermore, widespread media coverage of the CFA Program and CFA Institute activities, like the Global Investment Research Challenge for university students, has helped further establish the CFA charter as the most reliable measure of ethics and expertise in the minds of employers, individual investors, and global institutions.
