Thousands of people around the world are hoping they have what it takes to be a chartered financial analyst. Could you be one of them?
Those who managed to pass the three exams offered by the U.S.-based CFA Institute will receive the professional credential. The exams cover a broad range of subject matter — topics include accounting, professional ethics, securities analysis and money management. The CFA credential is highly sought-after in the investment world. The designation can exempt charter-holders from needing to take other exams required to work with institutions such as the New York Stock Exchange and Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission.
The exams are offered two times a year: All three levels are available in June, while the Level I exam is also presented in December. Fewer than half of those who take the tests pass. In 2017, a record 47% of test-takers passed the Level II exam, according to Business Insider.
These questions are actually relatively easy, do they get harder, I assume?
