Claritas is never a charter. How can it dilute the charter?

#22

Thanks, but no thanks, LOL

#23

Actually just the opposite. Right now a lot of people in asia and working in back office/IT take up the CFA exams. From now on they will be split between the actual designation and claritas, reducing the number of charterholders from this region.

What’s the difference between this and the IMC?

#25

IMC probably UK focused,Claritas more intl mehbe?

Since this program is designed for NON-investment related work, the theory is that “maybe” it won’t dilute the CFA charter. But in reality, we know that the big majority of back office folks (mostly the younger crowd) all want to move to front office and will go for the CFA charter anyway.

So, that implies it’s really the older generation that will go for this Claritas. But that’s the group most unlikely to want to go back and take tests. thye probably already have years of experience in back office anyway.

Thus, I don’t think this program will be successful.

and neither do you Level 2 candidate. As a level 2 candidate, you should know not to use CFA designation as a noun.
