chosen to collaborate with Kaplan Schweser to promote excellence in
candidate outcomes and continue to grow the profession.
HKSFA joins our network of over one hundred CFA Societies
globally who are partnering exclusively with Kaplan Schweser,” said
Dr. Andrew Temte, CFA, CEO of Kaplan Professional."
“Blending the knowledge, skills, and power of two of the most
reputable leaders in the exam prep market will benefit our
candidates, and a broader membership community as well,” said Tony
Watson, CFA, President of HKSFA. “It is our pleasure to partner
with the market leader.”
“Kaplan is the absolute market leader in CFA® Program exam prep
in Hong Kong for good reasons,” said Wen Lu, Managing Director of
Kaplan Hong Kong. “We have taught over 13,000 CFA® Program student
alumni in Hong Kong, complemented by our state-of-the-art
e-learning technology and Kaplan Schweser faculty’s rich research
and industry experiences. Our unique capabilities allow us to
