CFA Association Russia held this year’s annual CFA Charterholder Recognition Event on December 5 at Moscow’s Soho Rooms club. 

This was a special evening that welcomed our new members, who have attained their CFA charter in 2016, as well as highlighted the accomplishments of all CFA candidates and members of the CFA Russia community.

This year, CFA Russia welcomed 129 new members, a record number that shows the CFA charter is gaining recognition in Russia and the CIS.

CFA Russia invited Gary Baker, Managing Director of CFA Institute’s EMEA region, as the evening’s keynote speaker. As CFA Institute continues to grow in the EMEA region, Gary Baker’s leadership and experience in the investment industry is essential to drive a positive change in advancing CFA mission and values.

Furthermore, CFA Russia presented its 2016 Annual Ethics Award to Evgeny Gavrilenkov, partner at Matrix Capital, a professor of Moscow’s Higher School of Economics and a former chief economist of Sberbank CIB. The award recognized Evgeny’s work and his demonstration of the highest standards of ethical behavior in the Russian finance market.

The evening was also a great networking opportunity for everyone. Guests had a chance to mingle with each other and meet the CFA Association Russia Board and staff.
