Tell me which is harder Financial Risk Manger (FRM) or Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA)?

[shikha]

Two of the most strenuous but financially rewarding titles are the Master of Business Administration, MBA, and the Chartered Financial Analyst, CFA. A potential financial advisor or anyone considering a career in finance or investing should consider their differences.

Getting into top tier Business School is certainly harder for most people than getting CFA, but on the other hand getting just some MBA from a tier 4 program is something anyone can do, while CFA is certainly not for everybody.

The Financial Risk Manger (FRM) is a professional designation awarded by the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP) to the candidates who successfully completes this certification program. It is a globally recognized standard for those who manage risk.

An MBA takes two years of full-time study, with classes covering various aspects of running a business. Courses range from human resources to accounting, from marketing and sales to managing operations, supply chains and technology.

Financially, getting a CFA designation is cheaper than earning an MBA, as the program is based on self-study and not going to class.

The key difference between CFA and MBA is the skills obtained. CFA focuses on enhancing Investment Management skills including Investment Analysis, Portfolio Strategy, Asset Allocation and Corporate Finance. Whereas, MBA focusses on overall Management Skills like Marketing, Operations, Finance, Human Resources etc.

Another difference is the mode of study. CFA is a self-study program, whereas, MBA in most cases is a Full-time Classroom-based Program.
