Hi,
Adding my views, CFA and CFP are both related to finance. It can be a bit confusing looking at the two terms.
1. CFP stands for Certified Financial Planner, and CFA stands for Certified Financial Analyst. Well, one can see that there is a difference, as one is a planner and the other is an analyst.
2. The Certified Financial Planners mainly give advise to individuals. On the other hand, the Certified Financial Analysts give advise to various institutions, like banks, mutual funds, pension funds, insurance companies and security firms.
3. Certified Financial Planners help with retirement planning, stock investing and other financial planning. On the contrary, Certified Financial Analysts focus on stocks and market analysis, helping the various companies and institutions to make the correct investment decisions.
You should aim at the profession that goes best with your interest, strengths, skills and career goals.
you may go for CFA which offers a promising career with lucrative options. The openings available to CFA degree holders are in Banking, Insurance, Corporate Sectors and Finance, Leasing Companies. Even organisations like Railways, Reserve Bank of India and Financial Institutions like ICICI, IDBI, IFCI and UTI have given due recognition to the CFA programme.
The CFA program imparts enough knowledge and expertise in the finance fields and those having undergone this programme have an edge over others. The areas of work for CFAs are as follows.
CORPORATE FINANCE: Necessary technical skills and knowledge imparted in the CFA programme in fields of corporate finance, like Indian Financial System, Financial Accounting, Management Accounting, Financial Management, Advanceed Financial Management, and International Management adds to the advantage of CFAs in disposing of their duties and responsibilities.
INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT: Investment management is an analytical subject. To manage investments, requires thorough knowledge of the subject. The CFA programme takes care of all these needs and covers important aspects of the subject including, Economics, Quantitative Techniques, Economic Legislations for the Securities Industry and Security Evaluation Techniques.
FINANCIAL SERVICES: The CFA programme being a specialization programme in finance helps CFAs to foray into financial services like Leasing, Hire Purchasing, Project Planning, Issue Management, Credit Rating, Venture Capital etc.
