Hi guys, i want your take on the above topic.

Over the past twenty years,derivatives have been seen to be an important study in the field of finance.Options,swaps and futures have been used as a means of price discovery for comodities and as a hedge against risks.the study of FIXED INCOME SECURITIES and DERIVATIVES continues to elude students as they are not taught at universities or even colleges.

If we (CSIA/CFA holdres) are to gradually demutuallise our stock exchange and achieve vision 2030, isnt it in order institutions of higher learning review their syllabus in tune with the changing global market trends?

I know that our capital market is still growing but just like the new costitution that we very well voted for, can't we also amend the law governing financial markets change in line with other emerging markets so that future generations and investors can benefit from a variety of either equity or debt or derivative investment options?

maybe you could start by educating those around you on the topic. After that you could start a school. Ask what you can do for learning in this country not the other way round....

The CFA in itself is an MBA which is good, but considering the comparative costs to a local MSC in finance the above subject will not be adderessd thoroughly if i would take MSC.

Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

@mukiha,hav you realised that at times those guys who don't have the knowledge are the guyz who end up making money.
Too much know how at times is a disfavor.
