CFA作為一門國際性金融資格證書,很多人都知道并非只是通過考試就可以取得認證的,后期還涉及到一個工作經(jīng)驗問題。對于這些CFA經(jīng)驗?zāi)愣剂私饷??目前通過CFA考試的難度相比過去幾年相對降下很多,通過三級考試是成為注冊金融分析師的第一步,但是考生想要成為CFA持證人必須符合協(xié)會規(guī)定的4年相關(guān)工作經(jīng)驗,不過很多大陸CFA考生并不清楚如何界定這工作經(jīng)驗。

一、考前要求的工作經(jīng)驗

什么?CFA報名考試不是不用工作經(jīng)驗嗎?

其實只要有學(xué)士學(xué)位的人報考CFA不用工作經(jīng)驗,或者在校本科生在畢業(yè)前18個月也可以報考CFA,不用工作經(jīng)驗。

如果申請人不具有學(xué)士學(xué)位則需要一定的工作經(jīng)驗作為專業(yè)水準來考核,一般來說,4年的工作I經(jīng)驗可以視為替代學(xué)士學(xué)位。這4年的工作經(jīng)歷不一定是從事金融行業(yè)的相關(guān)工作,只要是合法、全職的工作經(jīng)歷都可以被接受。

二、考二級或者三級需要更多的工作經(jīng)驗嗎?

不需要,在成功注冊后可以報考CFA三個級別的考試,期間對工作經(jīng)驗沒有任何更高的要求。

三、申請證書需要工作經(jīng)驗,什么樣的工作經(jīng)驗才符合要求呢?

CFA協(xié)會認可的工作經(jīng)驗包括:直接參與投資決策過程或者為投資決策過程提供支持等相關(guān)工作。職位本身的名稱不能直接決定是否被CFA協(xié)會認可,主要是日常工作中涉及到的職務(wù)內(nèi)容必須50%以上和投資決策相關(guān)的才是被認可。其它職務(wù)如果工作中涉及的職務(wù)內(nèi)容和投資決策相關(guān),亦可提供詳細的工作經(jīng)驗給CFA協(xié)會,也是被認可的。

包括:在投資決策過程(如金融分析、投資管理、和證券分析等等)中收集、評估及應(yīng)用金融、經(jīng)濟和統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù);直接或間接主管他人進行上述活動;從事上述投資決策活動的教學(xué)培訓(xùn)工作等等。“投資管理與研究協(xié)會”要求CFA認證的申請者必須花超過40%的時間用于以上工作,其中假期、兼職和實習(xí)期間的工作經(jīng)驗不予承認。工作經(jīng)驗的積累可以在參加CFA考試之前,其間或以后,但只有達到四年的相關(guān)工作經(jīng)驗積累后,才能獲得CFA認證。

總體來說CFA協(xié)會對于此類工作經(jīng)驗還是相當(dāng)嚴格的,畢竟CFA是金融行業(yè)內(nèi)含金量極高的資格證書,想要成為注冊金融分析師并把CFA寫于名字之后并非易事。

另外職位本身的名稱不能直接決定是否被CFA協(xié)會認可,主要是日常工作中涉及到的職務(wù)內(nèi)容必須50%以上和投資決策相關(guān)的才是被認可。如果所從事的工作在以下舉例的職位以外,但工作中涉及的職務(wù)內(nèi)容和投資決策相關(guān),亦可提供詳細的工作經(jīng)驗給CFA協(xié)會,也是被認可的。
