ANOTHER FEATHER IN HER CAPAn employee of CPI Energy recently gained another feather in her cap by passing the Level II examination of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Program. Bethilda Clutario, Manager-Finance, passed the June 2005 CFA exams, together with forty-eight percent (48%) or 28,275 of the 58,907 candidates worldwide.
To earn the CFA charter, candidates must sequentially pass three six-hour exams that are widely considered to be the most rigorous in the investment profession. Of the 11,102 individuals who took the third and final exam that leads to the prestigious CFA designation last June, only 6,083 (55 percent) passed. For the other June 2005 exams, the Level I global pass rate was 36 percent (22,915 took the exam) and the Level II global pass rate was 56 percent (24,891 took the exam). Since the first exam was given in 1963, the average global pass rates are 49 percent for Level I, 52 percent for Level II, and 67 percent for Level III.
