CEU Credit

The competitive nature of the CFA profession requires constant upkeep and the CFA Institute is dedicated to
helping members in their professional advancement. Ongoing development of the CFA charter holder's knowledge reflects his/her commitment to their profession, as well as to their clients and employers - increasing his/ her value in measurable ways. Staying up-to-date helps CFA charter holders to better recognize investment opportunities and avoid pitfalls.

The CE Program was designed to provide a formal and credible means of recognizing our members' ongoing
commitment to lifelong learning. A top priority of this new program is to provide a framework that enables members to take charge of their own education, trusting them to self-select, shape, and tailor the program to meet their unique needs.

In order to maintain and improve professional competence, CFA Institute recommends members complete a
minimum of 20 hours of CE activities, inclusive of a minimum of 2 hours in the content areas of Standards, Ethics, and Regulations, each calendar year.

The goal of the 2-hour recommended minimum in SER content is to ensure that members understand and stay
current in the areas of ethics and professional conduct, standards, and laws and regulations relevant to
investment professionals. As a reference, the following topics are all related to SER content and eligible for SER credit:
Advocacy, Regulatory, and Legislative Issues
Corporate Governance
Ethics and Professional Standards

CFA Institute complemented their product offerings with the Approved-Provider Program.
This program is designed to provide an expanded number and variety of relevant CE opportunities available to
CFA Institute members at the local level through partnerships with member societies and select third-party
