The difference between fund qualification examination and securities qualification examination
Securities qualification examination and fund qualification examination are two independent qualification examinations, one organized and implemented by China Securities Industry Association and the other organized and implemented by China Fund Industry Association.
The securities qualification examination has two subjects, both of which are required, namely "Basic Knowledge of Financial Market" and "Basic Laws and Regulations of Securities Market". The qualification examination for fund practitioners requires one subject, and the other two subjects can be selected. The compulsory subjects are Subject 1, Fund Laws and Regulations, Professional Ethics and Business Standards, Subject 2, Basic Knowledge of Securities Investment Funds, and Subject 3, Basic Knowledge of Private Investment Funds.
Those who pass the fund qualification examination, take the examination and pass the examination can obtain the corresponding fund qualification, which is a certificate issued by China Fund Industry Association. Fund qualification certificate is a necessary certificate to enter the fund industry. Fund companies and related financial institutions will take the qualification certificate of fund practice as a screening condition when recruiting.
Passing the securities qualification examination means obtaining the securities qualification certificate. However, if you need to further apply for the securities qualification certificate, you need to submit an application to the China Securities Association by your work organization after work. After passing the securities qualification examination, it is also a very effective condition to indicate on your resume that you have passed the securities qualification examination. Passing the securities qualification examination is also an important reference for entering banks and related securities financial institutions. It can be said that taking the qualification examination for securities practitioners is the first level to enter the securities profession.
With the increasingly integrated development of the financial industry, there is no need to choose between the securities qualification examination and the fund qualification examination, because the two examinations are relatively linked. If you have the ability, you'd better take both exams and get relevant certificates.
