Do we get a free print subscription to either of these with our candidacy/membership?
No
Yes, with regular membership. I recieved my copy of FAJ this past week.
Yes, you will get a subsription to both upon gaining membership to CFAI or when you get your charter. Kurtosis, what’s wrong with you? You are not even a charterholder so why don’t you stick to replying to things you know about?
Palacio, maybe you should read the inital question again, oh wise one. It’s a wonder that with your attention to detail you managed to pass the exams.
Being a candidate doesn’t get you a free subscription to either magazine. If the poster was a chartholder, they’d be receiving the magazine and wouldn’t have asked the question in the first place.
One doesn’t need to have the charter to be a member. Those are different things. Hence, candidates can receive publications for “free” as long as they pay their membership dues. Non-candidates can do the same.
I think you need to reassess who’s attention to detail is lacking, especially when you respond to someone’s question with a one-word answer like, “No”. I specifically stated that upon becoming a “member”, you indeed will get a free subscription to the FAJ and CFA magazine, which was his question. You do not need to be a charterholder to become a member. You need to figure out what you are talking about before you answer someone’s question with such confidence. FYI: I just took you to school, punk
So, to answer Woody’s question–members (whether they be Charterholders or not) get a subscription to BOTH CFA Magazine and the Financial Analyst’s Journal with their membership?
Or do you have to be a “real” Charterholder to get such a thing?
I could be wrong but I believe that you just need to be a regular member, not necessarily a charterholder.
As a level 3 candidate I definitely can get the electronic editions no problem from the CFA publications page, so to be clear I’m talking about a printed, mailed to my door copy. Seems like candidates have to pay (like $50, so not even bad) for that option, but associated members/charterholders get it with their dues.
