Chartered Financial Analysis Institute is the global, not-for-profit association of investment professionals that awards the CFA and CIPM designations.
A relationship between CFA Institute and select colleges and universities around the world that embed a significant percentage (70%) of the CFA Programme Candidate Body of Knowledge into their degree programmes.
CFA Institute awards CFA Programme Partner status to recognise finance degree programmes which are (i) academically rigorous and (ii) closely aligned to professional practice. The CFA Institute recognises that professional and academic qualifications are complementary: both play an important role in ensuring the success of the finance industry.
No. Designation as a CFA University Affiliation Programme Partner does not mean that the MiF or MFA and the CFA are the same thing; they are complementary to each other. Because of the breadth and depth of curriculum, the MiF and MFA are appropriate for CFA candidates and CFA charter holders alike. The MiF and CFA are very different and complementary study experiences and many students choose to follow both qualifications as part of their professional development.
Find more information about the CFA Programme Partnership on the CFA's website.
