Becoming a member of the CFA Society of Sydney is a great way to get practical benefits from your CFA designation or CFA studies. At the CFAS, we work hard to provide members with a wide range of useful services.
Some of the key benefits provided by the CFAS include:
- Networking Opportunities: We host a wide range of events, both formal and informal, each year to enable you to interact and share ideas with other investment professionals.
- Professional Development: We stage educational seminars presented by high profile local and international speakers to keep you up to date with the latest investment thinking. Special events featuring high profile speakers are restricted to members only. Through our affiliation with the CFA Institute we are able to source internationally renowned speakers not readily available.
- Workshops: These events are smaller group sessions which focus on a particular topic and are structured to be more interactive and practical. Examples of the topics include equity sector analysis, quantitative techniques, and professional skills such as networking.
- Social events: These events are a great opportunity to network with industry colleagues on an informal basis. Examples include golf days, wine and cheese tastings, and trivia nights.
- Annual dinner: This is the society’s premier social event. As part of the festivities, we formally recognise those candidates who have passed Level 3 of the CFA Program during the year.
- Candidate education: We provide many services to assist candidates in their preparation for the CFA exams such as study notes, study courses, practice exams and post exam drinks.
- Newsletter: To keep you up to date on the activities of the society, we produce a regular newsletter. This is sent to members electronically bi-annually. You can read the latest newsletter online at www.cfasnews.org.au
- Jobline: This is a facility by which members can post and apply for positions seeking CFA qualified professionals.
