CFA Ukraine, the Ukrainian Society of Investment Professionals, to Lead the Way for Ethical Investment in Ukraine
Having worked for several different Ukrainian investment companies, Andriy Klymchuk (Muskie 2003) was very familiar with the investment climate in Ukraine. Although there was significant money to be made by investment companies, there was often little regard for transparency and honesty in the way that the deals were concluded and honored. Convinced that this behavior was detrimental to future investment and economic development in Ukraine, Mr. Klymchuk and other Muskie alumni began working on setting up CFA Ukraine, the Ukrainian Society of Investment Professionals, which is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Association. |
