have you heard about CIIA ?

April 26th, 2012, 2:01 pm

While I was surfing on the website of the SFAF (french association for financial analyst) I saw that they proposed a formation called "Certified International Investment Analyst" and I was wondering if any of you have already heard about it? http://www.aciia.org/files/CIIA_Brochure_Jan09.pdfI think that this formation is a joke (compared to CFA) but I wanted to hear your opinion. EDIT: I have seen also CHP (Certified Hedge Fund professional), FRM (financial risk manager),Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) and CFP (certified finance planner).So in fact the question is simply : How many of them ?

CIIA is kind of European equivalent to CFA. I decided to try earning the CFA charter as I guess it is internationally much more recognized. Seems correct looking at the statements above...
