History

The CFA Society of Philadelphia (CFAP; formerly Financial Analysts of Philadelphia, Inc.) was founded in 1943 to further the interchange of information and opinions among people in the investment community, to foster a high standard of ethics and to promote a clear public understanding of the functions of security analysis. We also encourage continuing education in financial analysis for practitioners. Our organization is a Charter Society of the CFA Institute and is the seventh largest Society in the U.S. with over 1700 members.
