None of the investing legends like buffet, lynch, RJ were CFA's and none of the CFAs are poor so it is a tag but with some difference.

And Sri Lanka and Bangladesh! |
Its not possible to give exam even from these countries as they are not taking any application from India region. Moreover if you provide you have postal address there then also it will not be very easy. As after then end of course you have to give certificate of ur experience and that will not match with your permanent address. And mind it these ppl care a lot about ethics and most of the ppl flunk in this exam only.

Interesting, BubbleVision.
While on this topic, I understand that the field of ACTUARIES is booming especially due to demand by Insurance sector.
"A person whose job involves calculating insurance risks and
payments for insurance companies by studying how frequently accidents, fires,
deaths, etc., will happen." An actuary is a financial expert who applies
mathematical and statistical methods for assessment of financial and other risks
relating to various contingent events and for scientific valuation of financial
products in the fields of insurance, retirement and other various benefits,
investment and other related areas.

I had done the equivalent of the CIIA program from ICFAI Hyd sometimes in 1998. AFter that I lost 90% of my capital in 2000. SO while the program was good the point that I am trying to make is at the end of the day these things do not help as much as reading 20 books on the masters in this field.
Independently taken this program is good!

Being in IT secotr since long, i come across many fresh graduates who join the IT companies with decent salaries. Many of them aspire to join mgmt cources from IIM and alike and succeed too in 1-2 yrs of job.
I happen to ask few questions to the guys who clear CAT and intending to persue MBA there. I ask typical stuff like whats the motivation for IIM? Answers are always less or more the same i.e. highest paid salary, offer from leading investment banks etc.
Nobody answers that he/she is joining MBA to learn how the business is run? How to make wise investment decisons etc.
Moreover MBA is taught by teachers who spent their life in Ivy League collegges which is much away from business realities. Students are taught that everything in business runs on some kind of mathematics!
Irony is that when these graduates come out of college then they control huge amt of money of innocent public. Thats the reason majority of MF schemes give average returns less outstanding! Almost all MFs are replica of sensex. Nobody in the world has become like RJ by investing in any MF!!!
Well, no doubt MBA is good to secure typical high salary job with company of repute but it lacks true business wisdome which a typical marwari/gurati passosses in the streets.

Thankyou Basantji,
Ashish Jee, Welcome to TED,
since you are already in to CA arena, I would recommend CFA for you. I son't know what other technicians courses are you talking about, but CFA is over and above all of them in the Finance field. It do takes a lot of Investment, time and money wise, believe me it is worthwhile to go for. I have enjoyed this cirriculum in my Level 1 & 2 and the materials for the Level 3 are also up to expectations. Please let me know if you need any more details on Intl CFA. |
Hi all members,
I am not into the field of Finance but wanted to know few things on behalf of my wife.
She has done MBA finance from ICFAI and was working in CBOP bank then she left the job and our marriage and then gave CFA-AMER level 1 this june for which results are awaited.
If she gets through level 1 then what are the opportunities and how to look forward to it and
if she doesn't get through then what is the fall back option seeing the current Indian job market
