Hi :slight_smile:

In the Finance world, which is more valued FRM (Financial Risk Manager), PRM (Professional Risk managers) certification? Which one would you choose of the two.

Would value replies with someone who has any of the following certifications - CPA, CFA, FRM, PRM, CAIA, FP.

How do you prioritize(CPA, CFA, FRM, PRM, CAIA, FP)?? :slight_smile:

Also, please state the certification you may have.

depends on what you want to do

if you are in operations (COO), then FRM

if you are in audit or tax (CFO), then CPA

if you are on investment team (analyst, PM, etc) then CFA trumps all others

Was at drinks on Friday and this stupid try hard from the office said “why did you chose CFA over FRM?”. Before I could respond with ‘they’re not substitutes’ someone else cut straight to the point by saying “WTF is FRM?”

Haha ha ha. …

“WTF is FRM?”

I also hear the same quite often. But i also heard that PRM is tougher than FRM and in depth as well but no idea about marketability wise bcz if FRM is less known to people even to the HR so may PRM be in th same boat.

I have seen several instances of people failing CFA L1 or L2 “take a break” from CFA and pursue FRM in the mean time. The other type is those who are unable to commit the time and effort required for CFA and prefer to pursue FRM instead. However, FRM should be an obvious choice over CFA for those in risk management.
