Should I get a CFA? If so, when?

我24岁,进入HFstraight out of uni. CoveringTMTas a Global股票研究Analystfor a Top Brazilian Hedge Fund (I am Brazilian) in a $150MM L/S book inside a $4-5B fund (50% dedicated to overseas markets). The team is only me and my PM (he is pretty young too, ~35). Aim for the book is to gain representation within the fund (more AUM). We cover US mainly, but also China and every other country.

我应该做一个CFA吗?这值得么?如果是这样,我什么时候应该这样做?我的老板对此有利,但是我对大学的大二年对学校感到非常厌烦,因为从投资的角度来看,与公共市场几乎没有任何关系。

在有人问“你是怎么进来的?”GS,JPMfrom positions from Sales toIBand Wealth Management and all. I got immersed in public capital markets early on and more so during uni. Made a macro paper on LTCM (on my own) and as part of a class I made a pitch + report on AMD as a buy and possible short in INTC to fund it and eliminate risk in Oct. 2019, an M&A report on Alexion a bit before that (and both happened! :D). Had some connections, got a face 2 face with the PM, talked about them, sent him the work.

What an unhelpful response. Truly dogshit. I know what theCFA是。但不是每个人HF有它,我在这里看到了一些帖子,说它并不是很有价值的HFSas much as for AMs

I think aCFA与美国相比,在世界其他地区增加价值。美国的资金到处都是世界顶级著名学校的PPL和艰苦的记录。其他地方对事物的看法不同。这可能就是为什么您的老板认为它是有利的,如果您在工作中压碎它,请说完整的Level1,然后放弃cfatrack.

Yeah…Idk, I feel like I don't wanna take theCFA至少很快,我对Uni的学术工作感到厌烦。我认为现在的工作是最好的,并从中学习……我什至不知道是否是CFAwould be that beneficial to my line of work and investing $3500 + 100s of hours is just dreadful

Ovechkin08, 你怎么看?以下评论:

Adds zero value in theHFspace, and I say this as a charter holder. I did it as a graduate working on the sell-side before I moved to the buy side. Your ROI is so much higher focusing on finding ideas and making sure you generate returns. As others have said, no one will care about your charter if you can't generate ideas or produce returns. Where theCFA重要的是在长期以来的资产管理中,营销在资产筹集中起着重要作用。
