    CFA Society of Japan 

    Regular Membership

    To qualify as a regular member of CFA Institute and a local society, you must:

    • Hold a bachelor's degree from an accredited institution or have equivalent education or work experience.
    • Pass Level I of the CFA exam or pass the self-administered Standards of Practice Examination.
    • Be accomplished professionals with at least 4,000 hours (over a period of not less than 36 months) of experience in investment decision making that meets our work experience guidelines.
    • Fulfill society requirements, which vary by society (find a society). Unless you are upgrading from affiliate membership, all societies require two professional references as part of each application; these are submitted online by your sponsors.
    • Agree to adhere to and sign the Member's Agreement, a Professional Conduct Statement, and any additional documentation requested by CFA Institute.

    If you are an affiliate member and meet the requirements stated above, you must update the appropriate information in your account and submit an online membership upgrade application.

    In the event of a discrepancy, CFA Institute makes the final determination for regular membership status.


    Affiliate Membership

    Affiliate members receive the same benefits as regular members, but do not have voting rights. To qualify for affiliate membership, you must:

    • Agree to and sign the Member's Agreement and Professional Conduct Statement.
    • Fulfill society requirements, which vary by society (find a society). All societies require two professional references as part of each application; these are submitted online by your sponsors.

    Once you're approved for affiliate membership by a society, you will be prompted to activate your membership. You may activate your membership at that time or wait until you qualify and are approved for regular membership (see below) to activate your membership.

    Note: Affiliate membership does not qualify you to receive the CFA charter. Candidates are often first approved as affiliate members and then apply for an upgrade to regular membership after they have accrued the required work experience.

    To qualify as a CFA charterholder member, you must be a regular member and have completed all three exam levels of the CFA Program.


    Associate Membership

    To qualify for candidate membership, you must meet both criteria listed below

    •  Enrolled in the CFA Program (registered for the exam in the past 12 months)
