"We cannot overstate the profound effects that coronavirus is having on
families, communities, businesses, the financial markets, and the global
economy," said Margaret Franklin, CFA, President and CEO of CFA Institute. "As
the pandemic continues to intensify, with no certainty of when it will abate,
we have made this decision with a heavy heart while knowing that it is in the
best interest of all of our stakeholders."
Candidates registered for the June exams will be transferred to one of the next
two exam administrations. CFA Institute is currently working with its partners
around the globe to define precisely when those next two administrations will
occur; however, the soonest opportunity will be December 2020 for all levels.
Candidates will be allowed to select a preferred future date.
"We have hundreds of thousands of candidates around the world, and we know how
much time they have invested in preparation for the June exams," said Franklin.
"We thank our candidates for their patience as we all navigate this
unprecedented public health crisis."
The first CFA Program examination was administered in 1963. CFA Institute
offers test centers in 193 cities in 95 different countries. As of 12 March
2020, the close of registration, more than 245,000 global candidates registered
