(i) evaluating or applying financial, economic and/or statistical data as part of the investment decision-making process involving securities or similar investments, which includes, but is not limited to, publicly traded and privately placed stocks, bonds and mortgages and their derivatives; commodity-based derivatives and mutual funds; and other investment assets, such as real estate and commodities, if these other investment assets are held as part of a diversified, securities-oriented investment portfolio; or
(ii) supervising, directly or indirectly, persons who practice such activities; or
(iii) teaching such activities.
其實就這個定義,我個人覺得只有在金融業從事投資(幫人作投資組合也算,
所以投資業務也會被列進來)及證券研究這些算,與投資相關的風險管理應該也算。
照定義比較狹義的解釋,我是不認為Accountant算,因為他們工作沒有涉及
投資決策相關的,但廣義來說,你也可以說他簽證財報,而財報可用來作投資
分析之用。但若在四大下所設的財務顧問公司,作財務分析就可能會算。
關於記者,我不知他是哪部分合乎這個標準,除非是指提供資訊以供投資決策這部份。
不過,我無法代表CFAI的看法,我之前問過一個外資分析師,他也沒有辦法很
確定,因為他做的工作是典型的CFA資格認可的,所以他沒辦法說界線在哪裡。
我覺得不是作典型投資工作的人可能要盡量想想自己可能符合哪個部分,
想想如何合理解釋這個部分,然後寫信去問CFAI。
