There is no connection between CFA & ACCA. I Don’t know who suggested you to do these combinations.

My simple advice is;

• Decide whether accounting is your interest or investments
• If investments is your interest then focus and complete CFA
• Learn skills like financial modelling parallel
• Get hands on experience working as an intern or a proper job in research firms.

Having ACCA+ CFA on the resume won’t increase a dime on your package. Trust me.

Rarely have I seen any investment banker with experience only in investment banking or research. There are wide variety of companies that you deal with and wide variety of tasks in the IB domain, So CFA is definitely a base level education that makes you eligible to enter the filed.

I think most of the people worry too much on this front, but trust me the CFA institute requires more members anyways.I haven’t seen that deep scrutiny ever. Just make sure to explain how your advise helps in decision making

Well I think just like in the service, stop thinking and start doing. I did my 2 levels, while working full time, then did my level 3  teaching financial modelling in weekends and working full time. And This is just still nothing compared to candidates I met, who were working full time plus a full time mother to 2 children. So cheer up and be intentional.

Why would it be impossible? There are two parts to this question, either you are not aware of the opportunities or companies that hire for ER. Or you are getting these offers but not able to crack it.

• Firstly its best to start targeting Kpo’s that provide Equity research activities like E value serve, Crisil, Visible alpha etc
• Secondly what I have experienced is that sectoral expertise makes a big difference in cracking the interview.

Technically capital charge= Intial investment x Cost of capital(WACC). So in a way we are saying the minimum required rate of return or hurdle rate to cross over into actually making some money.i.e value creation. This is a little more off beat topic in capital budgeting

I think your pursuit and decision to get into wealth or private banking would be the primary driver. And the CFA charter would be the badge you wear to show that you also are serious about this field.

So I see it this way:

• Decision to get into wealth>>>>CFA charterholder>>Good stuff
• CFA charter> Wealth management career benefits>>> Not always true

So from the tone of your voice you seem like a confident individual. Go ahead and nail it.
