Letters after your name on Website

CFA Level III
#1

I remember people seeing this before they got their letters. Anyone know where on the website?

#2

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t it under Member Directory?

#3

Yes, the member directory. CFAI rep told me that as soon as you see CFA behind your name, you can begin to use the designation.

#4

I never joined as an affiliate so I guess I just have to wait then…

#5

Good news is I know have access to the directory, bad news is Im not in it yet

#6

Scratch that, I found me in the directory, but no CFA after name

#7

Now my name is not in the directory… So exciting

#8

Can see my name again, no letters

Do not think the Directory really matters. This is straight from CFA Institute Check out the line about the letter Thank you for your email. I have checked your record and see that just yesterday, 8 September, we received notification from your society that you have been approved for Regular membership status. Your online record will be updated soon to reflect the approval. It is our plan to begin awarding charters in mid to late September to 2008 Pass III individuals who have met all requirements. New charterholders will receive a letter confirming that all requirements have been met and the charter awarded. Just as a reminder, the CFA designation should not be used until the confirmation letter is received. I hope this information is helpful and please let me know if you have other questions.

I just can’t wait to attach my email sig and send an email to all those people who have MBA after there names.

#15

#16

Then they should know better than to keep the MBA there

#17

Yeah, but at least with an MBA you can guarantee superior investment performance.
