Abstract
This paper examines the developing trend of Finance programmes around the world being awarded partnership status as an undergraduate and postgraduate Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) University Program Partner by the CFA Institute. The CFA Institute has partnerships with select universities around the world that have embedded into their degree programs a significant percentage (more than 70%) of the CFA® Program Candidate Body of Knowledge. This paper explores both general motivations for academic/professional partnerships and specific motivations for university-CFA Institute partner arrangements. These include issues of curriculum development, product and brand enhancement, and the pathways that the program provides to students endeavoring to attain an esteemed industry qualification. Evidence is presented on the requirements, geographical distribution, and ranking of CFA University Program Partners around the world. Moreover, the approach of universities towards the CFA Institution partnership and programme design is examined.
