OK, I guess if they want to? I’d be surprised if this gained a lot of traction. CFA’s pretty well regarded and got a strong network of charterholders worldwide. Schweser has… they’ve got… Uhm… Greg Filbeck?
Is CFA Level I > JFA
JFK > JFA > LGA. KGB > CFP > UofP.
This is marketing genius. I can see it now. Dear CFA L1 Candidate, Thank you for purchasing Schweser’s Study Notes. We are very sorry that you were able to take advantage of our re-taker discount. We know how much time and effort you must have put into your studies. Why not leverage that effort and register for The Schweser Institute’s JFA today? Regards, Your Friends at Scheweser
Should I set up a new thread: ‘Which is better CFA or JFA or MBA?’
So if CFA level I > JFA and CFA level I > nothing, where is JFA compared to nothing ?
JFA > JMBA

Think I have got the solution: CFA = ER MBA = IB JFA = Cheif Executive of IB QFA= Hedge Fund Manger CFA>QFA… but heres the tricky part… QFA

I just called the 866 number on the site, and it’s Schwesers #. I asked if they started offering this new JFA designation and they had no idea what I was talking about I then asked JFA > CFA, and they said they’ll go check…kept me on hold for too long…hung up
Do I still have to maintain professional and ethical standards if I am a JFA guy? Can I guarantee superior returns? If the answer is No, Yes, there may be a value proposition there!

Nice work. Short JFA and QFA.
