Puzzled About What to Choose Between CFA & FRM?

Read on to find the solution to your confusion.

The CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) exam covers various financial topics, including corporate finance, portfolio management, accounting, fixed income, and derivatives. FRM (Financial Risk Manager), on the other hand, is a specialist exam for gaining knowledge of risk management. 

You will also be well-prepared for positions in investment management, portfolio management, and financial research with a CFA. Whereas, FRM is appropriate for people who desire to pursue careers in risk management in banks, treasury divisions, or risk evaluations. 

Difficulty comparison of CFA and FRM:  

• The difficulty is “subjective”, as the two exams have different curriculums. 
• CFA focuses on the “returns”, while FRM focuses on the “risk”. 
• However, FRM exams have a quantitative section so they might seem difficult for those who avoid quants as a subject. 
• But if you’re studying from the Kaplan Schweser Material then the difficulty level is relatively smaller.
