Given the choice between an inane rule and proper grammar, most of us take a step back and think about what makes sense. That’s why charterholders, the media, and the general finance community uses "CFA, not “CFA Charterholder.”
Actually, the majority of charterholders I know use “CFA”
In the hedge fund world, they like to say that sell side analysts need to be certified and all that crap while on the buy side you just have to be smart.
so not CAIA?
