CFA or MFE?

[EvanK]

Hello.

 

My goal is to obtain a CFA charter, and I was originally thinking about obtaining a Master of Financial Economics degree first. However, I recently researched the CFA requirements and I am starting to think that it may be a better investment of my time if I simply pursue a CFA charter. My undergrad major is Economics.

 

Is getting an MFE prior to CFA worth it?

 

Or should I go straight for the CFA charter?

 

Any insight would be appreciated.
