"Chartered Financial Analyst" job title - Ethics

Is that an ethics/standards violation? The job explicitly requires a charterholder, so it’s seems like they want the job title to indicate the person in the role is a charterholder. Anyway, I have an interview for it, just couldn’t recall this scenario from any of my studies.

I once saw a job ad for a “Certified Financial Analyst”. I figure it was some HR person who put the ad together. :confused:

lol. yeah. i guess I’m thinking about it from the perspective that “Chartered Financial Analyst” is a trademark, which makes it seem like a violation, but if the person in the role is a charterholder then maybe not…who knows. Maybe they just listed it that way to get charterholders’ attention and apply, and the actual job title will be something else.

Been a while, but I have seen “Certified Financial Analyst” in a posted job. Le sigh… :roll_eyes:

I remember many years ago, Citi advertised to fill positions as a `Citi Financial Analyst (CFA)’ and the CFAI lawyers went after them because CFA is a trademark.
