Hi,
As part of my bachelor degree, I spent a year working in an asset management company as a performance analyst.
I understand that CFA institute does not recognise internships as relevant work experience, however this was not an internship, it was paid and lasted a full year. Does anyone know if this would count as work experience?
Thanks

If it was full-time, and if you can present a good case that it contributes towards investment decisions, then it counts.
From what you’ve said so far, looks like it counts to me. -

Yeah that sounds fine to me, even if it’s an industry placement.

@chief1988‌ The definition seems quite loose. Personally I’ve been working as a whole of market financial advisor for the past few years and was a corporate account manager for a couple of years before that. This seems to have been counted towards the work experience required by CFAI. As long as it involves being paid full-time, decision making and some form of financial exposure, the CFAI have been willing to accept it (in my case anyway, I cannot empirically say this is the case for all applicants).
