Upcoming Events

Early Career Insights Panel

Join CFA Society New Zealand for an evening of practical career insights and networking with CFA Charterholders. Following the positive feedback from our CFA Program Candidate Career Panel in June, we’re bringing candidates and CFA Charterholders together again for an Early Career Insights Panel . Candidates told us they wanted to hear more from charterholders who have recently completed the CFA Program, together with those a little further into their careers, to gain practical insights into building a career in finance and investment profession. Our panellists represent different areas of the investment industry and career stages and will share their experiences of navigating the CFA Program alongside work, developing their careers and the role the CFA Charter has played in supporting their professional opportunities. The discussion will be facilitated by Stephanie Peterson, Associate Director – Candidate Outreach, CFA Institute , with plenty of opportunity for candidates to ask questions and hear directly from the panellists.
