The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) program is a globally recognized graduate-level self-study program for investment professionals. A CFA charterholder must initially meet professional requirements before applying for and completing the program. In order to gain the CFA designation, candidates must have four years of qualified work experience, possess a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution, and pass a series of examinations. On average, the CFA program takes four years to complete. At Reilly Financial Advisors, we believe that the benefits of a CFA charterholder are invaluable and add a unique understanding to our team.
