    Fund managers have bucked the trend of investing in assets they didn't understand and are now building a foundation of solid risk management and fundamentals. The need to understand how assets are priced is finally getting prized as more diverse products hit the market and there is waning faith in the efficient market hypothesis. This is underscored by the fact that sittings for CFA exams has increased 14% YoY this month.

    The CFA credentials are important...which makes me wonder how someone who has it (as indicated by Lee's profile) would not know what the letters in CFA stand for.
