Date of Release: November 15, 2015

On November 14th 2015, the Pre-Registered Qualification Examination for Fund Professionals 2015 was held successfully in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. On November 15th 2015, Chartered Valuation Analyst Examination (CVAE) was held in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Chengdu at the same time. ATA provided computer-based testing services throughout the two examinations, including scheduling of test rooms, examination delivery,  test proctoring, test scoring/results processing and data analysis.

Qualification Examination for Fund Professionals (QEFFP) is sponsored by Asset Management Association of China (hereinafter referred to as AMAC) and organized by ATA. The fund industry is a financial industry typical mixed with various professions. The financial institutions see a tremendous demand for fund professionals. At present, there are nearly one hundred fund management companies in China. China's public fund assets topped 6 trillion Yuan for the first time, and the number of public fund investors reached 220 million, meaning that one out of six Chinese invests in public funds. Public funds have become the second largest wealth management product next to bank deposits in terms of popular financing. Since this September when QEFFP was held again after being suspended for two years, AMAC has successfully held one unified national examination and one pre-registered examination. At present, application for the second unified national QEFFP has started on November 11th and will last till December 5th.

Chartered Valuation Analyst (CVAE) is sponsored by CVA Institute and organized by ATA. The number of candidates who applied for this examination has grown significantly over the same period of last year. This is because of the brisk domestic capital market and a huge shortage of professionals in the fields of merger & acquisition, company valuation and financial modeling. As a result, CVAE is attracting the attention of more and more enterprises and candidates.
