Message from the CFA Institute

Dear Members,

Over the past year, we have collectively witnessed and experienced many significant events, as we finally moved on from the pandemic, work and life got back on track, and the world reopened. As new technology, business models, and learning preferences change what is required of the profession, it is crucial for us to collectively set high standards to help promote the industry’s integrity and to ensure more resilient and fairer capital markets exist for investors.

 We must continue to meet market needs in an ever-changing business environment, to help enable our members and charterholders to further advance in their careers, from career entry to career exit. Continuous education benefits by building better careers, and a better industry that is highly skilled, ethical, focused on client outcomes, and more representative of the world today. I firmly believe there has never been a more important and critical time for CFA Institute and our global network of societies. The state of the world, our industry, and the challenges we collectively face, require our industry to rise to the occasion and do its part to bring about a new period of prosperity and purpose.

 Societies are the primary face of CFA Institute to local members, and CFA Societies Australia remains a crucial partner in advancing and championing our shared mission and values of ethics, standards, and financial market integrity. By leveraging each other’s strengths for the benefit of society, and embracing a spirit of collaboration, trust, respect, and transparency, we can achieve our goals, maintain our leadership, and fulfil our shared mission. Thank you for your continued trust, support, and recognition.
