Business Wire
ClearArc Capital announced today that Julia Batchenko, an
Investment Research Analyst at ClearArc Capital, Inc. in
Cincinnati, OH, has earned the prestigious Chartered Financial
Analyst® (CFA®) designation.
The CFA charter, the most respected and recognized investment
credential in the world, represents a tradition of upholding the
highest standards of education and integrity in the investment
profession. The charter is recognized globally by employers,
investment professionals, and investors as the definitive standard
by which to measure the competence, integrity, and dedication of
serious investment professionals.
Recipients of the CFA charter have successfully completed the
CFA Program, a graduate-level, self-study curriculum and a series
of three intensive examinations taken sequentially, which, in
total, takes most candidates between two and five years. Candidate
surveys report that preparation for the three exams typically
requires at least 900 combined hours of study.
The CFA Program, which is administered by CFA Institute, the
global not-for-profit association of investment professionals, sets
a standard that is acknowledged around the world for measuring the
competence and integrity of financial analysts, portfolio managers,
and investment advisers. Currently, more than 100,000
investment professionals in 135 countries and territories hold the
CFA charter.
The first CFA exam was administered in 1963. Due to the
rigor of the program, only around one in five candidates who enroll
in the CFA Program pass all three exams and meet the professional
and ethical requirements to earn the charter. Earning the
designation demonstrates mastery of the skills most needed for
investment analysis and decision making in today’s fast-evolving
global financial industry.
Administered worldwide in English, the CFA Program is firmly
grounded in the knowledge and skills required every day in the
investment profession and covers ethical and professional
standards, securities analysis and valuation, international
financial statement analysis, quantitative methods, economics,
corporate finance, portfolio management, and performance
measurement.
Julia Batchenko has worked in the financial industry for 7
years. She joined ClearArc Capital in 2015. Prior to joining
ClearArc Capital, she worked as an Associate Wealth Management
Advisor in Fifth Third’s Private Bank. Her prior experience also
includes serving as a Plan Administrator at Great American
Financial Resources and an Account Specialist at Union Center
Insurance and Investment Company. Julia graduated from Kursk State
University with a B.S. in Finance and Economics. She received a
M.A. in Translation from Kent State University, as well as an MBA
with a concentration in Finance from Xavier University.
"My family and I are thrilled that I finally received my
charter. I’m glad to see my hard work paying off." Julia Batchenko
said. "To me, this designation represents a solid foundation for
the exciting world of investment management while demonstrating a
high commitment to continuous education and ethics in the ever
changing environment of the financial markets."
John Bowman, CFA, managing director, Americas at CFA Institute,
explained what motivates candidates to make such a significant
investment of their time and energy to seek to earn the CFA
designation.
“For 50 years, candidates have sought to earn the CFA charter
for two chief reasons,” Bowman said. “One, to expand and test their
knowledge of current practice across a broad range of investment
topics, and two, to demonstrate to clients, employers, and peers
their mastery of a demanding body of knowledge.
“In the past decade, as the CFA Program has been adopted as a
worldwide standard, the charter also has become an ‘international
passport’ to work in financial markets anywhere in the world,”
Bowman concluded.
