Chartered Financial Analysts
With
liberalisation being the mantra for economic growth and development,
demand for well-trained specialists in the area of financial services has
increased. Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) is a training program offered
by the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India (ICFAI), which
primarily aims at upgrading the skills of financial executives in
Corporate Finance, Investment Management and Financial Services. However
with the increasing demand for qualified people in the financial sector,
fresh CFA’s are also being increasingly sought after. Even organisations
like the Indian Railways, Reserve Bank of India (RBI), Unit Trust of India
(UTI) Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI) and so on have
recognised the benefits of the programme.
