Does anyone have this FRM certificate? How tough was the exam? They show only about a 51% pass rate. ___________________________ http://www.garp.com/frmexam/frmexamfaq.asp The Financial Risk Manager (FRM®) exam, launched in 1997, is recognized as the world's most prestigious global certification program for Financial Risk Managers. The FRM measures a candidate's ability to dynamically manage financial risk in real-world settings.
How does this compare to a CFA? Are they comparable? Is this something you would put on your resume? Would it help in making it in a hedge fund?
Just wanted to bump this to see if there are any opinions out there. Seems to be a few new designations making the rounds, this being one of them. This one would seem to be a hell of alot more useful in the trading/hedge fund world than the CFA.
One of the guys I work with has the FRM and writes study materials for this designation. If you want to e-mail me, I'll see if I can get more info for you. He's having a baby today so it may take a little while for me to get you more info.
