When Analysts Get Defensive

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Diversification in finance has a whole new meaning.

Aspiring Chartered Financial Analysts must pass three exams on a wide range of asset classes and complex formulae, but the learning doesn’t stop there.

The CFA Society of Toronto is hosting a “Self-Defense Tips and Tactics for the Finance Professional” event on May 15.  “Do you work late and walk alone at night? Travel alone?” an ad for the event asks.  “From random wrist grabs, to an unwanted hold or knife assault at the bank machine….this Krav Maga self defense workshop is geared to the executive life.”  Running shoes and comfortable clothing are recommended for attendees, though “these techniques will work no matter what your attire.”

It is always good to be prepared. This knowledge may come in especially handy for members, should sky-high asset prices ever fall back to earth.
