An MSc is an MSc.Having said that, with the CQF you do get more in the way of "tuition" via video of lectures and the like. jjangulo, it's worth checkin...

Thanks, you are right, overthought it, by about a mile

<t>Carina, the way your post is phrased, you are asking actual people for their experience and input.

<t>Hi,A while back, I received an unsolicited 'cold' call from a headhunter. I responded by politely informing them that I am happy at my firm and not looking to move.

If you have a friend / colleague who is a CFA candidate, borrow their official books Level I and II books on Equity. The books then should have references to the actual papers / book...
