[@sumedhshrivastava192]

Hi murrad, thank you for the amazing content. My question is what edge does FRM give if you're already planning/appearing for CFA?

[@finladder]

Actually a very very important question many do not cover, so let me first of all pin your comment. So first of all FRM is a degree in the niche of risk management, and CFA covers finance in a broader perspective, so what do I mean by that? E.g CFA covers all the topics of finance in a very broad sense equity, economics, debt, risk management, alternate Investment all of this, but when we talk about the depth it covers of each topic ( on a scale of 1-10, 10 being very deep and covering everything), CFA covers topic to the depth of 6, on the other hand FRM covers Risk Management completely to the depth of 10/10, thus if you wish to enter into risk management, CFA + FRM is a very good combination considering CFA gives you edge of overall finance and FRM makes you pro in risk management

Hello sir. Should we study FRM from updated 2021 books or 2020 schweser will be fine.

[@manishakhakhar7197]

Updated version would be better

[@finladder]

See basically these institutes are money.making machines at the end of the day, if they keep 2020 and 2021 curriculum same, you'll never buy new books, sonthey change a couple of topics continuously. What can we do.? If you have joined any classes ask for the classes to give you pdf's of the topics that have changed (thus you can get these 20-40 odd pages printed, rather than buying new books altogether) .

if you like our Investment analysis and Portfolio management, at the end of the course you'll find the video on CFA, we explain everything about it, how to go about it, and since you will be entering in you last year of college in a year, you can start with your CFA prep, in 2-3 months

Since you have already spent so much time on CA, it is understandable that it's frustrating, but returns after CA would trump those that come from FRM, So if you have it in you, and you think you can clear CA this time, then focus on it.

[@finladder]

CFA is tough ? yes CFA is too tough ? Absolutely no CFA will give you an edge ? YESSS in london, all the colleges that ask for GMAT score, would not ask for GMAT score if you have CFA. In Australia best MSc finance course is by uni Melbourne, which itself on the university website boasts that we cover 85% of CFA syllabus. MIT in US gives preference to CFA University of Toronto gives CFA a preference. so to your question is CFA a good degree, I would say no brainer in your case
