Re: MBA CFA Or Both
Additional education after college has become a prerequisite for career advancement in many investment fields. Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Both have their advantages The CFA takes two to three years to complete. A full-time MBA can be completed in 18 months or so. CFA charterholders are investment professionals, and the skills they pick up are super analytical. They tend to stay on Wall Street and head to a hedge fund, private equity firm, or bulge bracket bank. People get MBAs in specific fields — finance, operations, etc. — but they tend to come out of school with broad-based knowledge and a wider variety of opportunities open to them. The CFA program was devised to provide charter holders with specialized skills, such as investment analysis, portfolio strategy and asset allocation. The MBA program is a mile wide and a foot deep, while the CFA program is a foot wide and a mile deep. The advantage of an MBA is that the knowledge obtained in the program is valuable in other industries outside of the investment world. The advantages of the CFA program are the ability to acquire specific investment related skills at a relatively low cost. |
