What is the CFA? All You Need to Know w/

[@straighttalks-ajsrmek323]

THANKS FOR HAVING ME ON KENJI!!! It was great to talk with you.

[@KenjiExplains]

My pleasure AJ!

[@november2005Nov]

@@KenjiExplains great video Kenjie & AJ! I have a question though, I am pursuing a masters degree in Business Analytics and have an undergrad degree in Economics but no experience of working in finance, do I need CFA? If I took a few finance related units during my course of study, would that help in getting a job at an investment firm or other financial institutions?

[@nickmcnickface3231]

Hey AJ, I have a quick question. I recently passed the series 7,66, and 215 and have started studying for the CFA. Do Charterholders usually have the series also? I've read articles saying people usually pick one other the other. Thanks! Loved the video!

[@straighttalks-ajsrmek323]

@@nickmcnickface3231 Only CFA charter holders who are making investment recommendations to clients will have both. Maybe 50% if I had to guess.

[@kumbanyangba4332]

I just saw this video and am highly interested in taking the CFA exam but I don’t know how to go about it

[@AdityaPillai009]

As an engineer trying to break into the financial analysis domain, this video was a gold mine. Thanks Kenji for such insightful questions, and AJ for such detailed answers.

[@Account1452-m9q]

Hey man, I am also engineer, finished my masters recenrtly and also trying to go into finances. Can you tell me what is your plan, I mean are you going to go to MBA directly or start from the beginning bachelor? It’s a bit unclear for me thank you in advance

[@xs2278]

Do an MBA become a CEO. Dont specialize on finance. As an engineer you might have greater opportunity in business management rather than becoming a CFO.

[@blugaledoh2669]

Why is an engineer breaking into finance?

[@amarbaha]

As an MBA who is currently doing my CFA, the CFA is 5x more financial analysis. There is some crossover but my opinion is that the CFA provides actual financial skills where an MBA provides more business plan/strategic planning. Hope this helps. PS CFA is CHALLENGING!

[@arslan_TM]

Just going to start my CFA, any advice 😊

[@liam-bm6yv]

CFA does not teach financial modeling

[@amarbaha]

@@liam-bm6yv Did it with the tutors and the firm that I was with. You are correct that no direct financial modelling is on Level I.

[@Pkchan98]

Am thinking about doing Msc in finance and then going for CFA rather than MBA as i want to stay in financial are, Is it a good idea? What you think?

[@wallstreetzoomer]

@@Pkchan98 CFA is packed with more knowledge but a top MBA helps you get a job, and doing the job will always teach you more than reading.

[@baph0met32]

hello and thank you SO much for uploading this video. I have a question to ask... requirements... pass all 3 levels and have 3 years of investment decision making related work experience? How ? at the beginning of the video it was mentioned that cfa is a good way to breakthrough into the industry from a whole other field... so how am i to have 3 years of experience when i come from another field. and also... how do i prove it if i can only show my personal portfolio?

[@charlesbaha5298]

I feel like companies should give people a month off to prep for level 3

[@eduardopalomares9691]

Hey kenji love the content keep up the excellent work.I’m currently a senior in high school and want to study economics for undergrad .my question is do you recommend studying and taking the cfa exam

[@successfullife7689]

As a technical professional in the data world with experience in finance-related topics, I'm curious: Is it realistic for someone like me to prepare for and pass the CFA exams? How can my background in data and analytics help me, and what challenges should I expect? I'd love to hear from those who have experience or insights into this!

[@joaosimoes8763]

Just Registered for CFA Level 1 🎉

[@ebeneben5472]

is it only for investment (stocks) only? is their other side of corporate business which a CFA can be helpful?

[@urbanrider771]

My financial advise to everyone is if you have no extra money dont invest. Spent it to make you happy. Buy good experience. You only live once.

[@Cultivacash]

Save your money up and do both.

[@joyceshi7138]

I’m a college student who is preparing level 1, sometimes I will doubt if my decision to register is worth😢Since I don’t have a intense schedule to work in sth like investment or financing

[@nwangumasidney5054]

Is the 3 to 4 years work experience very important? I have been running a personal finance blog since 2020 where I post finance analysis and news, does that count as a work experience?

[@kong11232]

Kia Ora Kenji! I am from Aotearoa. Can you please wish me luck for my level 3 exam tomorrow? Chur Bruh!

[@KenjiExplains]

Best of luck!!! Hope it went well :)

[@neerajr3134]

Thanks Kenji..

[@gtsperformance10]

Can I get a CFA by passing the exam and then get 3 years of work experience in investment? Asking since I’m a chemical engineer now that has free time after work 😂

[@blugaledoh2669]

Career switch?

[@BasitJamilofficial]

wish me luck .. deciding to go for CFA in future.. :P

[@KenjiExplains]

best of luck! :)

[@nwangumasidney5054]

Good day everyone, I plan to start the CFA course this August, i studied medical lab science in college and I don’t have much knowledge in finance but so in love with the profession, so far I have taken some finance related courses on Coursera over the years to prepare myself on this but I still feel scared of getting stuck on the way if I start the CFA program? I need advice, is it okay to start the program with little knowledge in finance? Is it a program strictly for people who have been in the field? I’m very hardworking and I study very hard as well but I just need to know these things

[@Haleydaily-ig5rd]

Hi, just want to know have you started to learnt the CFA yet?

[@victorjonathan2812]

Hi Kenji, im a high school student who’s soon will be entering university. I plan to take on accounting as the major that i’ll be studying for the next 4 uni years. Although, i have a passion in investment and the stock market and im really intrigued with the CFA, in fact i’ve already started reading some of the materials that i bought off online. I have a couple of questions regarding the CFA : 1) since of the requirements of being a charterholder is having 3-4 investment decision related work experience, i was wondering if that is possible for me as someone who’s gonna graduate with a degree in accounting, and if its a yes, does that mean its okay for me to be working as an auditor or accounting related workfield? And still be a eligible for the Charterholder, if its a no, how can i get involved in the finance and investment related work? As someone from an accounting major. 2) Can i take the CFA level 1 exam during my uni year? 3) will Having a CFA charterholder means that i only get to work in the world of investment like portfolio management, trade, and equity related work? Or i could also work in finance and more towards funding, etc within a company?

[@LemurJackson]

Ok

[@shreshthasarkar991]

Hi I'm working in a data science background in asset portfolio management field.. will CFA be helpful and relevant for me ?

[@leewisdom666]

I am considering taking CFA next year. Wondering if you can recommend brand name study material

[@bobargy3364]

If i understood well if you have passed the level 3 exams you are not yet a charterholder since you need to fulfill your work experience period time right? So if ur not yet a charter holder but you have passed all the exams and the only thing u need is the work experience , does this helps for a good salary in your way finding a relative job?

[@PriyaM00824]

Do students needs to go USA during course for related exam, course?

[@Piercing-the-Veil]

Don't think you need investment related work experience, considering you can be a financial analyst and do no investing whatsoever. Pretty sure the requirement is 3 years of related work experience.

[@tristanchiu4995]

Ur the best

[@nicklaslouie5693]

Great great work.

[@KenjiExplains]

Thanks a lot!

[@nasrakleh196]

What do u think about corporate finance institute

[@amis1347]

Is there any excel on the CFA? Can anyone recommend any good real life excel programs? That will prepare you for an investment analyst role?

[@Beginnertotech]

Can any degree holder with irrelevant experience can start learning CFA. How much is the possibility to get job after CFA1 ?
