CFA® (Chartered Financial Analyst®) is a post-graduate professional designation given to those who have completed the CFA program according to the CFA Institute in India. The CFA program certifies the competency and ethics of financial analysts and is one of the most respected and recognized investment management designations in the world. 

The CFA Program is typically completed by those with backgrounds in finance, accounting, economics, or business. It is a three-part exam that tests the fundamentals of investment tools, valuing assets, portfolio management, and wealth planning. 

CFA charterholders earn the right to use the CFA designation after program completion, application, and acceptance by the CFA Institute. 

Here are the four main steps you’ll need to follow to earn your CFA charter.

  1. Step 1: Pass the CFA® Exam. To earn the CFA charter, you first have to pass the CFA exams. 
  2. Step 2: Achieve Education and Work Experience Requirements
  3. Step 3: Submit reference letters
  4. Step 4: Apply for the CFA Charter 

To be eligible and register for the CFA exam, you must have one of the following criteria

  • An individual wishing to enrol in the CFA Program and register for the Level I exam for the first time must possess an international travel passport. In addition, candidates must meet one of the following requirements
  • Have earned a bachelor’s (or equivalent) degree, or select an exam window that is 11 months or fewer before your graduation month for your bachelor’s degree or equivalent program- must complete your degree program prior to sitting for level II.
  • Have accumulated 4,000 hours of applicable professional work experience (not required to be investment related).

Candidates may also have a combination of full-time professional experience and education that totals a minimum 4000 hours. Those hours of experience/education must be accrued prior to enrolment in the program.
