CFA Level 2 during MBA

[AbhiJ]

I am doing MBA at a provincial level univ in Canada. Till now MBA has failed to inspire me, it all appears very disconnected and theoretical, plus the teaching in Finance is nothing better than free videos on YouTube and in fact on most cases worse. I did CFA L1 few years back and I am thinking to enroll myself in CFA Level 2 to get in mode of learning. My question is should I register in CFA L2 or try to get Finance specialization in MBA ? Doing both can be hard as Finance courses are NOT totally linked to CFA L2 and I have some other commitments as well. I can do a general MBA and write L2 more easily.

If the Finance course is not worthy, I suggest you to go for level II. I study much more about Finance with CFA than any other courses.

Have you done any business degree/diploma.

I took my master degree in Financial Risk Management while taking the CFA exam. My master heavily involves in portfolio management ( I also have some corporate finance courses), so i can tell there is some similarity between my master’s curriculum and CFA curriculum. I think CFA is a great contribution to my degree as it organize all of the technical knowledge I have from my master and give me a big picture on what should be done with portfolio management. However, I don’t take an MBA so I don’t know if they are comparable or not.
