以下是引用Snow_man在2008-7-9 18:24:00的发言:各位XDJM们,有了解CQF的吗?
它与CFA的最大区别是什么?对跨行业进军金融领域有帮助吗?
CFA is more for buy-side jobs with a focus on portfolio management.
You can start as an analyst-> assistant PM-> PM-> Senior PM.
CQF is more quantitative-oriented and you may expect to become a quant in the future.
(To be honest, nowadays, it becomes very hard if you do not graduate from a top school in U.S. with a Ph.D degree.)
A sell-side quant is focus on modeling and implementing the models.
Neither of them wont provide u a way to become a trader.
Wilmott is good at math and business nowadays but CQF is overrated by him.
His volatility-arbitrage strategy was very succesful several years ago so he opened a fund.
He closed the fund when more ppl entered that area and worked as a Math Guru on Risk-Management side.
Same story applies to Steven Ross, Myron SHoles and Robert Merton..
Open a fund-> make Money initially using superb Quant skills-> lose money when model fails->
Become a Risk Management Guru to publish papers in top journals.
