History

In 1947, four financial analyst societies--Boston, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia--cooperated for the purpose of promoting the exchange of ideas and supporting the welfare of their profession. In 1962, some of these financial analysts created the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation and established a code of conduct. In 1963, the profession was formalized when 284 candidates sat for the first CFA exam and 268 CFA charters were awarded. In 2004, the Association for Investment Management and Research voted to change its name to the CFA Institute.

Since then, 120,000 CFA Charters have been awarded. CFA Institute has more than 135,000 members in 150 countries and territories, and 137 member societies in 60 countries.
