NEXTGEN SINGAPORE INVITES YOU TO
A Panel Discussion on the Benefits of CAIA, CFA and MBA Designations
CAIA, CFA and MBA…. Which should I choose?  What’s the difference?

To help you sort through this array of exams and designations, we have assembled a panel of individuals who can represent all three. The panelists will share the reasons for their selections, the opportunity costs, and the value they gained from the various courses, including how the designations have supported their careers. Through an interactive dialogue with the audience, speakers will also compare and contrast the MBA, CFA and CAIA.

We are delighted that 100 Women in Finance's CEO, Amanda Pullinger, will moderate this panel. The session will be followed by Q&A and a networking session with snacks and wine.

NextGen Groups focus on members with up to ten years of industry experience. The initiative aims to provide an educational and peer-to-peer forum at which aspiring women can build lasting relationships through an open dialogue about the current interests and challenges of both working women and financial industry professionals.  

If you are interested in joining the NextGen Singapore group, please complete the member survey. Please also forward to member and non-member colleagues and friends and encourage them to join.
