✅ About Charlene Cong, CFA
I'm Charlene, an ex-JPMorgan and a CFA Charterholder with a decade of experience in finance across Asia and Europe.
I believe finance is NOT only for the privileged rich; finance is for EVERYONE! Wall Street complicates finance, and I’m here to simplify finance and share money tips.
I started as a banking journalist in Hong Kong, investigating how millionaires invest. After, I joined J.P. Morgan, serving private banks. Later, I joined a wealth tech firm in the global wealth center, Zurich, Switzerland.
My job was all about making the rich even richer, and I increasingly felt in my gut it was time for a change. That's why I started this channel with the mission to empower everyday people to work towards financial freedom🚀💰
Lots of love💕

Dear Charlene💕you are just awesome! Thank you so much for your experience - you inspired me a lot!! I am your fan forever!
thank you so much for your kind words my friend! I'm thrilled to hear that my experience has inspired you. Your support means the world to me. What part of my journey resonated with you the most?~
@@CharleneCong it is very cool to know that CFA is possible for professionals with different background
I still plan my master in Finance but I would definitely go ahead with CFA first
That's great to hear! The CFA program is indeed a versatile option that can benefit professionals from various backgrounds. Pursuing your CFA before your master's in Finance sounds like a solid plan, as it can provide a strong foundation and enhance your credentials. Are there any particular topics or areas within finance that you are especially interested in? Best of luck with your studies and future endeavors!
Hey Charlene, Great video! Charterholder here. Thanks for sharing. It's quite a process and it feels like it changed my personality. I was a really outgoing 23 year old man going out every weekend, going for trips to tons of places. As soon as I enrolled, I stopped eating healthy, could not go to the gym or dance often, did not have time to chat with friends or family much. All i did was work in Asset Management - 9/10 hrs and then come back home, take a nap for 1 hr and then study for 3 hrs. Double on the weekends. It felt crazy even when my parents used to say let's go for a drive or friends would say lets meet up for dinner and drinks. Concerts, everything et cetera. Feeling relieved now but somehow its very deeply ingrained in my system, and still recovering. Transitioning into a new person soon.
Hey! Thanks for your message. It sounds like you've been through a lot on your journey to becoming a charterholder. I understand how the intense study and work schedule can take a toll on your personal life and hobbies. It's great to hear that you're feeling relieved now. Do take it slow and prioritize self-care as you move forward:) If you ever need someone to talk to or support along the way, feel free to reach out. Wishing you all the best as you navigate this transition! Charlene x
Preparing for CFA Level 1 this video helped me a Lot from India 🇮🇳
So glad it’s helpful 🤍🤍good luck with the exam!
Hey Charlene, great words of wisdom. Reduction of rent was the best part 😅. Hope your channel reach a million subscribers soon.
Just a question- I’m preparing for L1 Nov 24- which prep material did you refer?
Thanks for your kind words and good luck my friend! I was using the notes from Kaplan back then and I think that’s good enough! And I had a video about 5 tips on passing CFA, hope it’s helpful too! czcams.com/video/6TshoLwKkKg/video.htmlsi=LiKH-kf3Jt17qipw
Quite interesting that you came from a completely non-finance background, why did you decide on pursuing a career in finance? I’m currently studying a MS in Business Analytics at Boston University and im really interested in working in Fintech so im researching if CFA level 1 would make sense for me
Thanks for the comment! Yeah, it's been quite a journey moving from a non-finance background to finance. I got hooked on financial markets and their global impact, which led me down this path. For Fintech, the CFA can give you a solid financial foundation, which can be really useful. Your MS in Business Analytics sounds awesome and super relevant to Fintech! How are you liking your program at Boston University, and what part of Fintech excites you the most?
姐姐好优秀，我是一名大二的学生，今年暑假8月考CFA一级
谢谢你的留言！很高兴听到你在大二就已经准备考CFA一级了，这真的很棒！祝你考试顺利，加油！如果你有任何关于考试准备的疑问或需要建议，随时告诉我哦。你对未来的职业规划有什么想法吗？
How do you view CMT designation as a CFA charterholder ma’am?
Thanks for the question! As a CFA charterholder, I see the CMT designation as a great complement. It adds a technical analysis perspective to the fundamental analysis skills from the CFA. It also depends on your goals and what you want to achieve in your career. Plus, job experience is often more important than any designation. Are you considering pursuing the CMT?
@@CharleneCong yes Ma’am! Hopefully you can make a video about it too! Keep making great contents Ma’am! We need credible Finfluencers these days… God bless!
@@CharleneCong The CMT designation goes completely against what we are taught in the CFA though?
I love the rent reduction story 😅😂 unbelievable
Totally unexpected 😁🤣
Just downloaded the 60 basic financial terms. Thanks for your generosity!
Hope you enjoy it! How do you find it?
@@CharleneCong you pasted it in the description😃
I think I'm in love 💖
Thanks for your comment ;)
@@CharleneCong how do I get rich while studying in university 😭😭😭. So that 🔥 girls like me :( plz give me ideas 💡
@@CharleneCong I have 3 CZcams channels one is at 16k(but not monetized yet). I started a new one yesterday. But I need more ideas other than social media.

You don’t chase, instead attack:) you’re still so young! Take time ❤
@@hamzashah1264 If you doing things just to make girls like you then you are digging yourself a grave. Find out your purpose bro, instead of getting after chicks.
hello i am 20 definitely interested in finance a lot but i am still in college and this course is very expensive so will it be worth it for me if i do this course now?
Hello! If you're passionate about finance, investing in a quality course can be beneficial. However, it's important to consider your financial situation and other commitments. You might also explore scholarships, online resources to gain experience without the high cost. CFA also offers scholarships.
What specific area of finance are you most interested in?

Is only CFA worth it?
It can open many doors in terms of career opportunities and advancement. However, whether it's worth it depends on your career goals and interests. For some, additional qualifications like an MBA or other professional certifications might also be beneficial. What are your career aspirations, and what specific areas of finance are you interested in?

Not worth it anymore
I understand where you're coming from:) The value of the CFA can depend on individual career goals and industry demands. What do you think are the most valuable qualifications or experiences in the finance field today?
