Introduction to CFA
CFA, which means registered financial analyst in Chinese, is a professional qualification title in the field of securities investment and management, and now it is also a familiar qualification title in China. CFA is sponsored by CFA Association of America. It has been nearly 50 years since its establishment, which shows that CFA has a long history.
Introduction to CIIA
CIIA means registered international investment analyst in Chinese. In the investment industry, CIIA can help professionals in this field to enter the international financial investment field. At present, CIIA registered international investment analyst has become one of the most authoritative and influential qualification certificates in the investment analysis industry, and has also been highly recognized by enterprises all over the world internationally.
What's the difference between CFA and CIIA?
CFA exam content mainly involves 10 knowledge points, namely: ethics and professional standards, quantitative analysis, economics (Mike Parkin Edition), financial statement analysis, corporate finance, portfolio management, equity investment analysis, fixed income securities analysis, derivative tool analysis and application, and other investment analysis.
The content of CIIA exam mainly involves the following knowledge points: economics, enterprise finance, financial accounting and financial statement analysis, stock pricing and analysis, fixed income securities and analysis, financial derivatives pricing and analysis, etc.
Judging from the content of the exam, CFA and CIIA are still very different in the knowledge points involved. CFA will be biased towards the analysis of financial data and the management of investment fields, while CIIA will be biased towards the analysis of financial securities and the pricing of stocks.
Which is famous?
In this regard, I believe many people will be concerned that CFA is a widely recognized certificate at home and abroad, and its gold content is in a relatively high position. Although CIIA is highly recognized internationally, its recognition in China is still relatively low compared with CFA, so its popularity will be slightly lower overall.
