The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) Business School and CFA Society Hong Kong (“the Society”) are proud to announce a partnership to empower senior executives with business know-how and effective leadership development framework for the Asian Century. 

“It is our great pleasure to have invited CFA Society Hong Kong to join the CUHK MBA Corporate Scholars Programme as one of our valued corporate partners to nurture future business leaders. CUHK MBA is committed to equipping talents from diverse backgrounds with the most up-to-date business knowledge and the highly sought-after professional skills, fostering the growth of talents in different industries and preparing them to lead confidently in their future managerial positions,” says Grace Liang, Executive Director of MBA Programmes at CUHK Business School.

In September 2021, CUHK Business School signed Memorandum of Understandings (MoUs) with the Society, in providing grant on CUHK MBA programmes or award on CUHK EMBA programme to the Society’s members. CUHK Business School is the first business school in Asia to offer a full suite of BBA, MBA and EMBA programmes, cultivating high-achievers who steer and shape the global business landscape.

“We are pleased to introduce this partnership with CUHK to our members. From rapidly evolving technology to unprecedented regulatory changes, it is imperative for the investment professionals to keep their skills and knowledge current and relevant to make wise investment and management decisions. The MBA and EMBA programmes can help our members develop beyond their technical specialism, provide them with a more holistic view on business from a leadership perspective,” says Alvin Ho, CFA, Vice President and Secretary of CFA Society Hong Kong.

Under the partnership, the Society’s regular members (CFA charterholders or non-CFA charterholders), affiliate members or associate members can either enjoy a grant covering 10 percent of the tuition fee for CUHK MBA programme; or will receive the Association Referral Award in the amount of HK$60,000 for CUHK EMBA programme.   

“We are glad to cooperate with CFA Society Hong Kong to offer the Association Referral Award to their members so as to achieve the aim of CUHK EMBA programme in nurturing top-notch management talents with a perfect blend of Chinese wisdom and western knowhow. CUHK EMBA is the first EMBA programme in Hong Kong. In 2021, it is ranked No. 1 globally on alumni’s career progress and the No. 1 independent EMBA programme in Greater China (English-instructed) among the world’s top 100 by Financial Times,” says Prof. Howard Lam, Director of EMBA Programme and Associate Professor of Practice in Marketing at CUHK Business School.
