If you see the course material it is very concise and to the point. One of my friend is doing it and he tells me that compared to CA and CS which have more academic value CFP is something that you can use in your day to day life. But the world is still biased on CA and CS...

hey maag I agree with you that CFP has more academic value than CA,CS etc and do you know its picking up quite fast but still not being popular enough. what I mean to say that lots of people are starting to know abut this course but  not try it as we Indians some of the foolish sort of persons are afraid to try some thing new and are happy withn their life

ICFP commits a quality course to its students, which leads to a promising career in Financial Services. To enable students apply the theoretical knowledge gained through the regular teaching, the college has made internship an integral part of the curriculum. To assist our students in getting internship assignments and finally job offers from business organizations, the college has set up an active placement cell.

I have had very close contact woith some of the studenta doing the CFP course and the feedback that I have received is very positive. It is less theory and more practical.

Since you are in UK I suggest you do the US version of it but if you are interested in investing why not do an International CFA? There are many on this forum who have an idea on International CFA and that is one of the best things anyone can do?
 
This is where we discuss Int. CFA

A CF Planner would be a good advantageous tool for all TEDDies, once the moolah kitty grows to a significant amount. It would provide cashflow for maintaining expenses for a numbe of years(from some off the $$$ kitty) and the rest of the money one can invest as they do now, thus investing would be more tension-free and thus more objective.

 
One CFP who writes sometimes on MoneyControl.com is Karik Jhaveri. He is a practising CFP at Mumbai available at: mailto:[email protected] - [email protected]  for clients. One of his articles I liked most was http://www.moneycontrol.com/india/news/retirementanalysis/kartikjhaveri/disasterproofyo/market/stocks/article/211231 - this one
Anyone have any idea on this Kartik ji, let us all in on that TEDdies.
 
TIA

Basantiji.Thanks for the Reply.But hum to yahn par pata nahi kab tak rahenge?Aur International CFA rupyia bhi bhout kheh leve ha(marwari).I have done BE. Comp.But want to make my future in finance.Even though I have very little idea about finance I am crazy abt it.

Wow so you can speak (write) Marwari. But by now you would have realised that good things do not come cheap. CFP is not something that can build your career in finance but CFA is the best thing. Now how much would it cost Level 1 could set you back by about US $ 1200 that is I assume you get the study material 2nd hand from Mumbai.
 
Int. CFA is tough but I suggest it is better to spend some money and even if you flunk once it would be worth it. Int. CFA with an engineering background would be a potent combination.
 
Now if you look at the cost of all the 3 levels it would appear big but the point is that if you can pass all the levels then you might as well pay for it so take it level by level assuning that if you pass it is worth it.
 
And for the books as I mentioned above you could get them outsourced from India that should cut down the cost.

Thanks in advance Basant sir!

This is no rocket science. They are like consultants take money for identifying and then solving problems. Personally I feel a person is the best FP himself.What would you like to plan for? The first thing they will tell you is move 25% into debt and 10% into liquid cash etc etc and that we are not going to listen at least not me!!!
 
Good for balanced guys who are not desirous of getting rich in 3-5 years!!!

I was thinking of one, after 5 years. My primal reason for using one good one who is good and certified in this FP stuff, was to maintain a steady cash flow for many years...30-40 years maybe with a certain level of certainty.
 
Then I could focus more on my own investments and take more than average risk.

Basantji - in Financial Planning, there is no thumb-rule of making an asset allocation.
 
Rather, decision is taken based on the identified need of a person and the right asset class which would help to achieve that need. 
 
The concept goes: Need --> Target --> Asset Class --> Investments --> Control ---> Achieve == Financial Planning

Hi all there,

Iam Chartered accountant.Iaws working last with Trinethra,Hyd,into treasury management.
I have 4yrs of work exp.
Iam not able to find that growth into the jobs which I have done till date in Corporate Finance.I just wonder if I go for some further course in CFP,(Financial planning),CTM(treasury management),or diploma with IIBF.
I cannot go for a regular course as Iam settled in Hyderabad ,so these courses if I do I need to do correspondence ones.
Can anybody suggest me what should I go for.

Date Posted: 28/Aug/2007 at 3:53pm
Hello, CFP is a good cous but the work profile of a CFP and a CA is diagnally opposite so the best thing to do if you want to leverage your CA experience is to look at an MBA or an International CFA (presently that is coming under controversy).

Can we do CFA or CFP course (not sure which one will be better?) being BE background? I am also BE in Comp Sc. and doing job in IT industry, willing to go for above certification not for the purpose of again doing job in financial industry rather than just for the sake of learning and enhancing my thought process.
 
In India, from which Institute or corr. course we can do this? Any link or Info will be really helpful for me.

it' good to see that atleast some indian forum is talking abt cfp. I have just completed BE and may join a IT major any day. however, i want to shift to finance as a career. i dont want to do mba without any work exp, as i have no background(dont know e of economics...).so mba will come after 1 yr exp in finance.

rite now i am looking for a short term course(1 yr-1.5yr.. better if part time or self study) that helps me learn and also makes my resume visible to the HR ppl in finance firms.
 
i had these courses in mind: ncfm, cfp, cfa( international). would somebody please guide me?
 
i heard that cfp' are self-employed or stuff like that. i feel that as of now, i am not cofident enough to be self employed. my idea of a first finance job is some bank that provides investment solutions to hni' or corporates...

CFP is probably 2 years and yes, it is kind of a consultancy business that you need to build upon.What is a problem though is the lack of a consumer mindset to pay for financial advice - at least in India.

Just read few parts of this thread and cant stop to wonder that why only mention is given to international CFA... whereas i have read in some other forum that indian one too is very competitive and well respected.
But in reality is it that bad to be avoided altogether??


Posted By: aditya_be
Date Posted: 27/Sep/2007 at 7:05pm
the point is that industry is not endorsing that course anymore. leave mnc', even indian firms are not considering it.

And how gud is their MS(Finance) course?? BTW I read about indian CFA in pagalguy.com, and their from a general discussion on a very long thread, it was concluded that indian CFA may not be at par with international CFA but that have more to do with brand value of international CFA due to it being first mover and US tag.
But i can be wrong because no body in my known circle is doing CFA..


Posted By: basant
Date Posted: 28/Sep/2007 at 2:29pm
Int Cfa is the best.MS finance is ok for knowledge but that degree will be unable to fetch salaries in the amrket.

Its ok for knowledge but that will not guarantee you a job. Correspondence MBA means very little if you want to monetize that degree but it is a good supplement to your existing Resume.
 
Why not look at a part time evening MBA instead?

Hey All

 
I have started with the CFP course abt 6 mths back and let me tell you its immensely useful in all areas of life. Be it personal finance planning to working in a firm, managing portfolios, or clearing job interviews.
 
CFP, i feel, is far better than CA or CS. I have seen many ca's n cs who after completing the course and being so qualified cant even answer the basic questions abt investment planning like CAGR, Jensen, sharpe, capital market line etc.
 
This course is highly recommended to all.

Dear Sir,

 
I want to start equity research advisory business in India. It would only provide consultancy on equity investment opportunities and NOT manage portfolio like Portfolio Management Services (PMS)/Mutual Funds (MF's). I already have an MBA (Finance) and have 6 years experience in banking. My experience was not directly related to equity research. I would like to know; for professionally starting this business, do I need any certification/license from SEBI or any other government body? I am aware about certification courses by All India Mutual Fund Association (AMFI), Certified Financial Planner (CFP), NFCM Certification for depositary participants. However feel that I don't need any of these courses for knowledge purpose. I am only looking for any certificate that would give me license/ authorization to conduct this business legally. I can't exercise the option to open PMS by registering with SEBI due to high net worth criteria requirement. Would appreciate your suggestion on this. Thanks. 


Posted By: basant
Date Posted: 07/Aug/2009 at 11:22am
If you are trying to sell subscription then I presume no mandatory certification is necessary but for a pms one needs to have a sebi registration. Please check up on this since my information is unconfirmed.

You need not be an expert in math but anyone who has elemetary knowledge (Class 10) can handle the math at CFA/CFP.

Try looking for the Int. CFA course. It does have alot of statistics revolving around Probabilities, Sampling, Correlation SD etc but it is all manageable.

A CFA from AMIR is equivalent to a MBA from any of the top B Schools so you should not think twice before opting for it.

Hye Basantjee,
 
I am 36 years old and reside in Amritsar and am into my family business.I have done BBA and worked in a private bank for 2 years after my graduation.
Of late, I have developed a strong liking for Int. CFA and want to pursue it.
After a gap of so many years, Can I do CFA. Will my age be a barrier?
 
Is there any institute/college in North India which teaches CFA material?
 
Or is it  totally a self based study programe?
 
What are the job prospects for me if I clear this prog.?
 
And finally Is it a wise decision?


Posted By: basant
Date Posted: 20/Jun/2010 at 6:34pm
It is a great decision if you want to leverage this degree to work for others but if you want to invest on your own read some 50 books and you should be well on track. Though it is self taught, it is always better to seek guidance because there are no fixed study materials etc.

Hi Deepanshu,
 
From whatever little knowledge i have, the curriculum is different for the 3 levels. But each level acts as a foundation for the next one.
The level for which the study material is relevant is mentioned in the study notes itself. please have a look again.

As a manager of a financial planning business you have two financial planner. In an hour, Phil can produce either one financial statement or answer 10 phone calls, while Francis can iether produce 3 financial statements or answer 12 phone calls. Deoe either person have an absolute advantage in producing both products? Should these two planners be self-sufficient or specialize?

It has Class 12 level math mostly stats chapters like probability, sampling regression etc.

Int. CFA is far far better then CFP.

Well, I am very confused whether to go for CFP or not. As after what I heard from experts like basant sir & many other sites too, the job prospects for CFP are rare & do not offer high pay. But I think this course might help me as I am planning to go for CFA int. after my graduation. So I am thinking to go for it. If anyone has any experience about the kind of jobs or pay, if we get any, then please share over here. Also, let me know about the work experience. I am pursuing my graduation but currently I am just a HSC pass. So how much years work experience will be required for me to become a CFP ...3 or 6 ? As for HSC pass outs its 6 years while for grads its 3 years...Please help me clear my confusion...

The Nike Kyrie 1 has seen some surprisingly nice colorways since its release, but the only ones I would consider buying are the Deceptive Red and Wolf Greys. I’m not a person who likes Volt on my kicks.
Adding to the “USA” and Leprechaun-like colorways that we showed you earlier today, http://www.soldelouboutinpascher.fr/louboutin-mary-jane-escarpins-1_10/ - Louboutin Mary Jane Escarpins , we have a third Kyrie 1 to add to the mix.
Limited to kids’ sizes only, this new low-top edition of the silhouette incorporates an official palette of Black/Total Orange/Metallic Silver. Particularly, Black adorns the Hyperfuse upper, while Total Orange are found on the lining, Swoosh, Flywire, midsole and the defining “Snakeskin” printed Hyperposite overlays.
Finished off with an icy translucent hexagonal outsole component, you can purchase the Nike LeBron 12 Low GS “Snake” at Nike retailers now for $145.
At the moment this “Dark Pewter” colorway of the Nike Kyrie 1is expected to release on July 22nd. Keep it locked to KoF?for confirmation.
This new colorway of the Kyrie 1 reminds me of the popular “Dunkman” colorway that is seen on many of Lebron’s past and present signature kicks. The shoe features a Dark Pewter upper with Tumbled Grey, Night Silver and Volt throughout. If you look closely you can also see infrared/orange detailing on the underlayer as well as on the Kyrie branding on the tongue. Some cement speckling has also been added on the midsole for a nice touch.
The latest GS-exclusive variation of the Nike LeBron 12 Low has now released, which consists of this “Snakeskin” finish.
