The Edmonton CFA Society was established in 1976 to provide a professional association for individuals in the investment community. Our membership currently consists of investment counselors, pension fund managers, corporate treasury, and stockbrokers. Our society is an association of local investment professionals. Consisting of portfolio managers, security analysts, investment advisors, and other financial professionals, we promote ethical and professional standards within the investment industry, encourage professional development through the CFA Program and continuing education, facilitate the exchange of information and opinions among people within the local investment community and beyond, and work to further the public's understanding of the CFA designation and investment industry. As one of the 135 member societies of CFA Institute, our society connects members to a global network of investment professionals.
