Value of CFA in australia

Hello every one

I am writing this to know what is the real worth of CFA charter holders in Australia. I Know its a fantastic and well regarded global qualification but i am confused with its worth in Australia as it is an isolated continent unlike Europe which is a mix of 27-28 global financial markets and Canada + USA who have well established financial markets.

i specially want students from australia to comment as i have to take some important decisions in next couple of months

it’s well respected. But not if you’re in IT.

AUD147,862.33.

More or less.

Mate the CFA is fair dinkum. Everyone in the investment industry from Woolloomooloo to Gundagai knows its tougher than a woodpecker’s lips. They’d be a flamin’ galah if they didn’t know.

CFA is definatetly valued but australia is a smaller job market to the larger money centres, with superannuation and pension making up a large piece of the funds management industry. Interesting observation here is that many who get into portfolio managent come from an actuarial science background.
