NYSSA is Now CFA Society New York, Underscores Commitment to Higher Standards in Investment Management
New York, New York (PRWEB) June 22, 2017 -- CFA Society New York officially unveils its change of name from New York Society of Security Analysts (NYSSA) in an effort to become more closely aligned with CFA Institute, the global association of investment professionals. The rebrand comes alongside the 80th anniversary of CFA Society New York and will allow the society to provide a more accurate description of the organization, as well as achieve greater local and global brand awareness.
The rebrand further demonstrates a commitment to promoting the highest ethical standards, best practices and professional development of 10,000+ members for the ultimate benefit of society and the broader investing public. Building on the society’s existing strength and network, the rebrand also highlights the value and presence of CFA Society New York both in the local market and beyond.
“Since its founding in 1937, the New York Society of Security Analysts has preserved and promoted ethics and integrity in this community. Now, 80 years later, we are excited to elevate our important work with CFA Institute, as we strive to raise standards and put investors first,” said Daniel Dagen, CFA, chief executive officer of CFA Society New York.
Conference honors legacy of Benjamin Graham
To mark the occasion, CFA Society New York hosts its fourth annual Ben Graham Value Conference today at Fordham University. The event honors the legacy of Benjamin Graham, the founder of CFA Society New York, and one of the creators of the concept of a chartered financial analyst designation. Based on Ben Graham’s teachings, this year’s conference explores the theme of “Mr. Market” through keynote speeches, presentations, panels and best-idea pitches.
