For those considering a career in investment, the question of whether to obtain a CFA or Masters in Finance designation has always arisen. Both have their pluses, as both degrees provide knowledge about the financial industry. However, there is a substantial difference between them. While the Masters in Finance provides more general knowledge and is better suited for those who practise in more general fields in the business and financial sector, the CFA programme is particularly tailored to those who need more specialised skills, such as investment analysis, portfolio strategy and asset management.
