The CFA Institute is a not-for-profit professional organization that serves investment management professionals—mostly portfolio managers, financial advisors and research analysts on both the buy and sell side—by advancing ethics, market integrity, and professional standards of practice. The Institute serves firms that are primarily engaged in asset management (e.g., mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity, real estate investment, investment research and ratings, and investment advisory services), wealth management, fiduciary asset ownership (e.g., pension funds, endowments, and sovereign wealth funds), and the various regulators and standard-setters that oversee this sector.
For the last two years or so, Darin Goodwiler has been the Institute’s chief compliance, risk, and ethics officer.
