Our Society promotes the highest ethical standards and professional excellence within the Czech investment community whilst at the same time representing our parent organization, the CFA Institute.

We encourage professional development through the CFA Program and facilitate the open exchange of information and opinions within the investment and financial community through the events that we organise in the Czech Republic.

Here you will find information about the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation as well as a FAQ guide on how to gain the CFA Charter and become a member of the society.

About the Current Global Financial Crisis

If there is one lesson to be learned from the current global financial crisis, it is that markets are based on widespread trust. Lending, investing, and the notion of money itself are built on this foundation. Perhaps it takes a significant crisis to remind us that "the system" comprises individuals who make choices that affect the lives of countless other individuals. This responsibility - the trust bestowed upon us as investment professionals - informs the core of the CFA Institute organizational mission: to set the highest standards in ethics, education, and professional excellence.
