CFA General

Any links to pics? Is the paper nice-looking?

#2

i was pretty mad when i saw how small magna cum laude was on my undergrad diploma.

#3

Here’s a picture of # 100,000. http://www.cfadfw.org/associations/3922/files/CFAcholder01.jpg

Like, topher, you were the 160,000th person to earn it… How do they differentiate between all the people who received the charter at the same time?

hahahah, yep.

If you stare at it long enough, you can see a 3D image of yourself sitting at a desk for 300 hours/year

how do you get charter #100,000 when there are only 82,000 charterholders? https://www.cfainstitute.org/aboutus/pdf/CFAInstituteFactSheet.pdf

#14

Maybe the other 18,000 of them are pushing up daisies?

#15

the assumption being that at least 100,000 of the 108,000 people that have passed LIII since 1963 have received the charter and of those 100,000 18% died?

Plus, not everyone who at one point earned the charter is a current, dues-paying charterholder.

#18

yup- no dues $$ = bye-bye title.

#19

I had no idea it was that big. The bigger the better.

#20

Woah! That’s kinda ridiculous. I still find it interesting that the charter entitles us to use the Chartered Financial Analyst designation, when there is no such thing as a Chartered Financial Analyst.
