There are many benefits that a finance professor can realize by completing the requirements for earning the CFA charter. These benefits are classified into three categories: classroom, career, and research. The author hopes that sharing this rewarding experience with fellow finance professors and other business professors encourages them to pursue career-related professional designations in order to grow professionally and help their students.TOPICS: Security analysis and valuation, portfolio management/multi-asset allocation
