Our members' expertise and genuine efforts will with no doubt play a vital role in refining the local investment industry, through the provision of internationally recognized high standard programs, amongst is the Chartered Financial Analyst examination program," said President of CFA Jordan, Mr. Sami Nabulsi, CFA.

On June 11, 1947, representatives from financial analyst societies in Boston, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia joined forces to form the National Federation of Financial Analyst Societies (NFFAS) to promote the exchange of ideas, develop a code of ethics, and support the welfare of the societies and their members. NFFAS' name was later shortened to the Financial Analysts Federation (FAF). In 1990, the FAF merged with the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts (ICFA) to form the Association of Investment Management and Research (AIMR), which is now CFA Institute.
