NEW DELHI: The almost decade-old trademark war between Hyderabad-based Institute of Chartered Financial Analyst of India (ICFAI) and the US-based Chartered Financial Analyst Institute (CFAI) has taken a new turn with the trademark registry cancelling the trademark awarded to the CFA course conducted by CFAI.
G L Verma, deputy registrar of trademarks, in a recent order said that the trademark issued to CFAI (formerly known as Association of Investment Management and Research) on July 13, 2005 was in contravention of rules and had thus been cancelled. "The trademark shall be re-advertised in the Trade Marks journal giving proper opportunity to the general public to file the notice of opposition if any," he added.
A trademark enables a student to officially use the CFA designation. Without it, the course loses its sheen. CFAI and ICFAI had initially operated jointly in offering the course in India.
After falling out in 1998, both institutes applied for trademark registration. CFAI got its trademark registered in 2005, which was opposed by ICFAI. According to ICFAI media manager R S Prasad, "CFAI, in advertisement published in the Trade Marks journal in 2003, mentioned its address as ICFAI, Plot No. 52, Nagarjuna Hills, Hyderabad - 500 082. This is actually ICFAI's address. They did this to misguide the public and the registrar office as ICFAI had also applied for the same trade mark

CFAI didnt have their own india office in 2005 and hence they used ICFAI address. CFAI is crippled in india with this latest development.
I hope a peaceful resolution between CFAI vs AICTE and later with CFAI vs ICFAI. CFAI leadership has to take structured and rational decision at this cruical juncture to stay afloat in the growing Indian financial education market.
There is enough market for both CFAI and ICFAI to co exist and provide education services and train a raw material (a person) into a finshed diamond (Financial analyst). CFAI should let the market operate freely and let market decide whether they want to hire CFAI or ICFAI. Let market be the Judge.
Pray for the peace 😃

Babu,
I too feel what you have said. But I think it won't be possible because ICFAI is hell bent on getting CFA Act passed and the government will never allow a foreign body to give a statutorily recognised qualification.

Babu,
Have you noticed one thing both CCFA and ICFAI websites are undergoin renovation.
Simultaneously, they have also removed the waivers on the CFA Program that was allowed earlier for CFAs from CCFA. The CCFA link is also missing from the CFA Program page.
If you see the MS(Finance) page, you will find that the CCFA link is missing there also. Moreover, they have also removed the section containing information on Criteria for Award of CFA Charter also.
In fact CCFA is completely missing on the ICFAI, Tripura website.
I don't understand what is cooking.
Website is still down ! It is now over a week that website is down...I think they are changing the layout completely.
One of my friend based in mumbai passed CFA last month and have got into BNP Paribas (nariman point, Mumbai) as a credit analyst in corporate finance. He will be working closely with top MNC and indian clients to help them in raising debt for their operations.
He is a fresher and have done B.com passed this year. The questions asked in interview were basic:
1) Balance sheet questions
2) What will you observe in company financials before giving out the loan?
3) Questions about CFA and what subjects studied in CFA.
4) General economy questions like GDP, per capita income and basic finance questions like beta, dividend, market capitalisation etc.

That's a good news.
But can you tell me what was the package and what position.
Hi BaBu/TumTum,
I have been a very keen observer of this thread for quite some time now and I believe you guys are doing a terrific job here. The efforts that both of you put in, day in and day out, to answer peoples queries is quite commendable. Just like majority of people out here, I am also supposedly an aspirant of the CFA course, and am damn confused and need your help!
I would truly appreciate if any of you could help with the following:
Whats the difference between MS (Finance) and CFA course that ICFAI is separately offering? MS is supposedly an 8 group course; two subject each group; 2 papers each subject. CFA is, I believe, a 6 group course; 12 subjects; 12 papers (this is what my understanding is)
Which one is worth doing? I am an engineer by background.
What are the cost implications?
Are classes necessary? Can one not survive without them?
I understand CFA course is smaller version of MS Finance is it equally recognized in the industry?
I have a lot more but I would like to shoot them in batches. Please advice.
Thanks,
jackofalltricks

Hi Jack,
If you carefully study CFA and Ms finance prospectus, you will be able to spot the differences in CFA and Ms finance and the cost implications.
Both are well recognised in the industry and classes will help specially in finance subjects which you have not studied in the graduation.
Which course to persue depends on your objectives- Example: My friend is working in an IT company for a global finance client, he is persuing CFA to get better finance knowledge and be a functional consultant.

If it is in today ET, i have not seen the Ad. In the Analyst magazine, on page 44 it is mentioned CCFA CONVENTION 2007- The council of chartered financial analyst- The Mumbai CFA association.
LIC CEO, SBI top management and a top honcho from Ministry of finance are attending the convention.
