About

CFA Society Atlanta was founded in 1960 to serve the practitioner's need for specialized knowledge, advanced studies, and information on new developments in investments and financial management. Of equal importance has been its mission to promote high standards of professional conduct among its members.

For more than 60 years, these objectives have guided the society and its membership, and the society now plays a vital role within the Atlanta investment community.

Globally, the society is a member of the CFA Institute. Admitted to membership in 1961, Atlanta is now among the largest of the more than 160 CFA Institute member societies with over 190,000 charterholders and affiliates, and its members serve as leaders in CFA Institute.

The society has twice hosted the CFA Institute annual conference, in 1968 and 1996.  Atlanta was the host city for CFA Institute Research Challenge Global Final in 2015.
