There’s bad news for those who took CFA tests last weekend in Rio de Janeiro to become financial analysts.
A truck carrying their exams was hijacked and all the cargo was stolen on Monday, the Brazilian branch of the CFA Institute said in a document obtained by Bloomberg, adding that chances of recovering the material are slim. The robbery affected 140 candidates who paid about $1,000 for the test, Mauro Miranda, the president of CFA Society Brazil, said in an interview.
