　　CFA的優(yōu)勢
 
　　CFA考試側(cè)重于投資和財(cái)務(wù)分析理論，比較適合金融機(jī)構(gòu)研究和投資管理人員、金融專業(yè)的博士或碩士。CFA資格授予廣泛的各個投資領(lǐng)域內(nèi)的專業(yè)人員，包括基金經(jīng)理、證券分析師、財(cái)務(wù)總監(jiān)、投資顧問、投資銀行家、交易員等等。CFA要求持有人建立嚴(yán)格而廣泛的金融知識體系，掌握金融投資行業(yè)各個核心領(lǐng)域理論與實(shí)踐知識，包括從投資組合管理到金融資產(chǎn)估價，從衍生證券到固定收益證券以及定量分析。
 
　　正如獲取CFA特許資格認(rèn)證顯示了投資專才對更高標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的執(zhí)著追求，聘用CFA特許資格認(rèn)證持有人也表現(xiàn)了公司對此的重視。全球的雇主和傳媒都將CFA特許資格認(rèn)證視為卓越的專業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。憑著如此廣泛的認(rèn)同，CFA特許資格認(rèn)證持證人在國際職場上享有明顯的競爭優(yōu)勢。CFA特許資格認(rèn)證持有人通常就職于投資公司、互惠基金公司、證券公司、投資銀行等，或成為私人財(cái)富經(jīng)理。在中國大陸擁有最多CFA特許資格認(rèn)證持有人的雇主包括普華永道、中國銀行、中國工商銀行、中國國際金融有限公司、匯豐銀行、中國中信、法國巴黎銀行、瑞銀、德勤、安永會計(jì)師事務(wù)所、中國平安保險(xiǎn)、招商局集團(tuán)、國泰君安證券股份有限公司等。
