Employers View
There growing interest in the CFA Exam by employers worldwide. Significant benefit in terms of career growth and compensation for those who clear the exam. A Russell Reynolds study quoted on the CFA Institute website talks about CFA-charter holding individuals out-earning their peers by over 50 % across experience levels. The primary employment opportunity is with Investment Banks, Private Equity firms, Equity Research,

Wealth Advisory and KPOs.


Clearing every level leads to an enhanced career path, i.e. even after clearing CFA Lev 1 candidates can

get good opportunities in financial research with KPOs, Broking Houses , Research Firms and Wealth
Advisory Firms.

Organizations like JP Morgan Chase, Bank of America Corp., Citibank, etc. are not only keen to take CFAs
but also encourage their employees to take the exam with some of them even financing the course for

employees.
