it’s not. “I’ve earned the CFA designation.” “I am a CFA Charterholer.”
etc.
thanks
No, because literally: CFA = Chartered Financial Analyst
I am a CFA = I am a Chartered Financial Analyst
So, if one of them is wrong, then both are wrong
Bluntly speaking, I don’t think that it is a violence of ethics to say that “I am a CFA”. At most, it is just a technical issue.
Do say
I am a CFA Charterholder
XX (your name) CFA.
I passed LI, LII and LIII in three consecutive years from 2002-2004
XX, Chartered Financial Analyst.
Dont say
I am a CFA
I am a Chartered Financial Analyst
I expect to pass in 2012
I passed all three levels of the toughest management exams in the industry
I don’t understand the grammer and logic of CFAI !
I noticed that the Schweser video describing the CFA program refers to charterholders as CFAs!
I hear people say “he is a CFA” or “he has a CFA” even among charterholders,
just too many syllabals to say C-F-A char-ter-hol-der.
C-F-A, short and easy
CFA should not be used as a noun by itself . It should only be used in conjunction with the words " designation" , or as a title after your name , never as an “a CFA”. This is Level I stuff
