CFA Update!

[oldactuary]

Thanks Bruce!

The CFA Institute added “actuary” back to the list of sample job titles that can qualify somebody for regular membership:

They even gave a sample description of what kind of experience they are looking for to approve actuarial work:

Thanks for your hard work on this!

Awesome, thanks Bruce! Now if only my employer would support me pursuing this credential...

[JohnLocke]

woot!

Okay, so that's another set of exams to consider.......

Still, pretty cool.

Hooray!

Three cheers! Hip, hip, hooray! Except... I support annual actuarial valuation processes and perform benefit calculations.

Hmm...if I recall, some of the CFA exams take care of a couple of the VEE requirements that I need. I didn't look too far into it, since at the time, I thought I couldn't even get a CFA designation, being an actuary. I might have to revisit that idea.

VEE..........CFA Exam #
--------------------
Econ...............1
Finance...........1+2
Stat...............2

Hard to imagine a situation where someone on an actuarial track would do CFA Exams 1+2 before getting an ASA though. I can't imagine many employers supporting it with study time for sure.

As a CFA Charterholder, I applaud these efforts!

I got mine before they removed actuaries from qualification...
