I know it violates the standards, but why? CFA stands for Chartered Financial Analyst, which is clearly a noun. |

My friend actually phoned CFA Institute to ask them this very question. Their answer was quite simple, and has nothing to do with ethics: if they allow charterholders to use it as a noun, there is a risk that it will become a generic term, and they will lose their copyright. |

I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
