Hello - Is anyone in this type of roll? Do you think it would qualify as value added for the CFA charter as per CFAI’s site? Thanks.
No…Operations usually does not have to deal with investment decision making
yeah HF middle office might not get it done. HF jr analyst sort of title if you could tweak this just a bit would work. HF’s are small enough most of the time where you do a little bit of everything. work it baby. work it.
What kind of roll? like a crab roll, or bread roll?
crab roll and bread roll son
LMAO But if certain auditing experience qualifies, I see why operations can’t. Check CFA site, they have examples.
Ops is Def ok. I got my hedge fund accounting experience approved by the CFAI. The CFA website says that your experience must be Directly involved in the investment decision-making process or Engaged in responsibilities and/or producing a work product that informs or adds value to that process Ops can add value and inform the investment decision making process. it all comes down to how you word your job description
if you look in the L3 forum there is a person who is in operations and got their work experience denied. I would definitely do some research.
It all comes down to detail. I put as much text as they allowed in that box and gave every detail of how my job added value and informed the PMs. I think you should be fine as long as you are very descriptive.
I passed on it. I know one of the fund principals so when i move farther in the CFA program he’ll put me with a manager, so that works for me. $8 billion AUM fund so very sizeable…
You can be a janitor at 8 trillion AUM fund or you can manage 80 million AUM fund, guess which is better, so who cares how bit it is.
Oh sh*t, was that you that turned down our ROLL where you get coffee for the trading floor?
I’m in HF Ops roll. I do a bit of BO, MO, and occassionaly some IR bullsh*$ when needed - It’s a small fund. ~600mm Does the charter add value for the position? ehh… not really. But it’s definitely an awesome body of knowledge to have, and something to help potentially move up to a position where you’d be actually making decisions. In fact, on the CFAI website, one of the job roles listed that qualifies is Fund Accounting. That’s strait up BO. So you could def get it doing that stuff.
I think if your producing or adding value to the production of a NAV for a hedge fund (in a pricing or CA processing role) you’ll be fine.
I said no for now. As i move through the program (hopefully) they’ll have other opportunities for me. Build those networks people…they work.
