Is the CFA worth doing to improve applications for Investment roles?

Passing the CFA is an achievement anyone would be proud of accomplishing. It’s a hearty exam, that comes at the sacrifice of a huge investment in time & money.

However that said, we have never had a Client specify it as a requirement, or choose one Candidate over another because of it.

If you are doing it to gain a shoo-in, there are other easy and cheaper qualifications to consider. 

It also means that everyone who takes the exam thinks the same, & really to beat the competition you need to think differently. 

Because, when they look left, you go right.
