CFA Society Vancouver is hosting its inaugural CFA Program information session on December 3rd with keynote speaker Michael McMillan from CFA Institute. This session is ideal for investment professionals looking to upgrade their credentials, professionals transitioning to a new career, and students wanting to enter the investment industry.

The Chartered Financial Analyst^® (CFA) credential has become the most respected and recognized investment designation in the world; enrolling in the CFA Program is your first step toward earning this qualification.

The CFA Program curriculum covers concepts and skills you will use at all stages of your career, bridging academic theory, current industry practice, and ethical and professional standards to provide a strong foundation of advanced investment analysis and real-world portfolio management skills.

HOW IS THE CFA PROGRAM DIFFERENT?

Most graduate school programs cover a broad range of topics; the CFA Program focuses specifically on investment knowledge. The self-study format makes it easier for you to continue working /study full time while you earn the charter. Employers know the CFA Program provides the skills needed to succeed in an investment career and that earning the CFA charter demonstrates the commitment to excellence required of today’s investment professionals.

We are happy to let you know you have officially been deemed 2nd years in COOL. So it’s at this time that we remind you to update your resume and upload your latest version to COOL, making it your default resume.

Rodrigo and Mary are happy to review resumes now during the summer if you want feedback!  We are collecting updated resumes until Friday, August 8th,  as we will have more time to review – we expect the fall to be as busy as ever. For those who submit by this deadline – you have the opportunity to receive “Evisors” credits and access to industry webinars. Please note – on a first come – first serve basis!

We are busy planning programming for your IPD week in October, 13-17th, where we will be having a large networking event with your employers from the summer being invited as well as mentors. We mention this now in case you have an employer who asks about an event at the end of the summer. We have pushed it back this year, with the intention of it being a much larger event!!

If in the next couple of weeks, your summer employer is expressing interest in keeping you on, and you need assistance and or advice about negotiating offers, or you have questions, please feel free to reach out to Mary or Rodrigo!  We are here to help you – feel free to stop by if you are on campus!

Hope to hear you have been enjoying your respective summers, and getting out to events and broadening your network, while you have time and you’re not busy studying.
