Charlottesville, London, Hong Kong, January 27, 2010 ? CFA Institute today announced that 34 percent of the 44,209 worldwide candidates that sat for the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Program Level I exam taken in December 2009 were successful.
The CFA Program is recognized worldwide as the gold standard qualification for investment professionals. To earn the CFA designation, candidates must pass all three levels of exam (successful candidates report that they study 250 to 300 hours for each level); meet the work experience requirements of four years in the investment industry; sign a commitment to abide by the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct; apply to a CFA Institute society; and become a member of CFA Institute.
The exams cover ethical and professional standards, securities analysis and valuation, international financial statement analysis, quantitative methods, economics, corporate finance, portfolio management, and performance measurement. Level I exams are held in June and December, and Levels II and III are held in June. On average, successful CFA candidates take four years to pass the three required exams.

This is a remarkable testimony to the dedication of candidates to the CFA Program and to their commitment to excellence and integrity in the investment arena. These individuals, through their personal commitment and undertaking to live the values of ethics, education, and professional excellence, actively demonstrate commitment to raising standards in the investment industry. I wish every candidate success in continuing their studies through the CFA Program and quest to join the 86,000 CFA charterholders we have around the world.”

This is reflected in the breadth and depth of the CFA Program’s Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK). Completing this qualification and earning the CFA charter is unique in investment management and recognized by fellow professionals, employers, and many regulators around the world.”
