Hi,\n\nCFA is a course specialization in the Financial Markets. It deals with Stocks, Bonds, Investments, portfolio etc.\n\nThis education will lead to a carrer path in Financial markets.\n\nAn MBA helps you with the Mgt skills.\n\nCFA alone is good enough but an MBA should be an added advantage.\n\nvisit http://www.cfainstitute.org/\n for more information.\n\nShraddhesh Doshi

look in the yellow pages for insurance agents- look for an agent with CLU- after his name- that means Chartered Life Underwrier- this person has passed ten different areas of study and is very knowledgeable on insurance matters- they are a big cut above other agents in knowledge--also look for ChFC- Chartered Financial Consultant- another 3 or 4 areas of study passed- and or CFP- Certified Financial Planner- this is also good- yet CLU's know more about insurance than CFP's do--I am a retired insurance broker, and a retired CFP, CPA, & LUTCF-another insurance designation--good luck to you- also- choose a mutual life insurance company- they will pay you dividends or part of the company profits that other cos wont pay you !!!

LIFA is Thompson Financial's attempt of offering a competiting certificate to the CFA Institute's "CFA" charter with a similar scope as the CFA coursework.  It is used for investment, securities brokerage and insurance industries.   \n\nBy far and away, the CFA is the most highly respected, most coveted analyst certification.  The LIFA is much less expensive, much easier to pass and much, much, much lower profile.  If you look in financial classified ads and check with headhunters, you'll find that they want the CFA designation - not LIFA. \n\nHence, I would not recommend wasting your time trying to do a cheaper, easier, less regarded test that still takes three years to pass.  If I might suggest an analogy, it's like taking a distance learning course certificate of economics instead of going to Harvard.  Sure, you've done the material, but I'm concerned that it may not give you the leg up you need to get a decent starting job. \n\nMy mantra is do it once, do it right. Besides, most reputable investment companies pay for your CFA once you join.

Much. If you have a liking for maths, than try to become an actuary after this. If you don't like maths than try Economics masters. This will be enough to make you an university professor and you will earn a handsome salary. Also you may go on to become CFA. You have unlimited scope but only attempt it if you like economics.

CA or Chartered Accountant doesn't need English, even if you don't know you can do appear for the exam and become a ACA. If you are going for the American exam for Certified Accountants, then you need English, if working as a CA in India  don't worry. \n\nBut you should be well versed with accounting rules, that is foremost important one. \n\nGo ahead, Best of Luck!

Firstly CFA does not teach you anything. Its a certification, you take the test and you clear it. You need to have a finace background to be able to sit for test.\n\nThe best thing for you would be look for schools that offer marketing courses onliner. If you want to take some courses without going for a degree or a diploma you probably wont require GMAT. \n\nOne certificatoin is CMA Certified Marketing Accountant, but I doubt if this is what you are looking for. The link below lists some of the online marketing courses.

It stands for National Bank Association.  See the link below.  Go to the Office of Comptroller to learn about becoming a nationally chartered bank.  It is pretty cool.

Be very careful with whom you trust your money.  Whenever you are hunting for a financial advisor you want to interview him like he was applying for a job.  In a way, he is.  Also, ask for his educational background, experience, and references.  Also, a good financial advisor will typically hold either a CFP (Certified Financial Planner) or a CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) designation.  Depending on the amount you are getting you may want to talk with a private wealth management firm that will be able to consult with you on taxes, investments, and all other areas of wealth management (and retainment).  Normally these types of firms have requirements that their clients have a minimum of at least 1 million in investable assets.

LOL..\nUnlikely! I have never heard of them. The UK banking industry is tightly regulated and most of the banks are national or international groups such as HSBC, Natwest, Barclays, Abbery, Bank of Scotland etc.\nThe FSA regulates banking in the UK: http://www.fsa.gov.uk/
