BIAS - Bermuda Investment Advisory Services

What is a CFA?
The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation is a globally recognized standard for measuring the competency and integrity of financial analysts.

A post-graduate programme, CFA candidates are required to complete three levels of examination. They must also have at least three years of acceptable, professional experience working in decision-making capacities within the investment industry.

Throughout their career they must maintain the highest level of professional service and integrity.

That’s why BIAS is proud to be Bermuda’s only non-bank CFA led investment firm.
