Hi all. Just a quick question - does CA(SA) articles at an audit firm count as investment work experience for obtaining your CFA? CFA requires 4 years of work experience and says the following about the nature of work required:
"Evaluating or applying financial, economic, and/or statistical data as part of the investment decision-making process involving securities or similar investments (e.g., publicly traded and privately placed stocks, bonds, and mortgages and their derivatives; commodity-based derivatives and mutual funds; and other investment assets, such as real estate and commodities, if these are held as part of a diversified, securities-oriented investment portfolio).
Supervising, directly or indirectly, persons who practice these activities.
Teaching such activities."
If anyone has gone through this please let me know. Thanks!
