For more than 20 years, Edge Designations has offered courses of exceptional value to finance professionals. Edge’s finance and investment training is approved by the CFA® Institute, the Global Association of Risk Professionals, and the CAIA® Association.

The team leader, lecturing across all levels and in all programmes, is Russell Jude, a charterholder of three top-flight global analyst designations – CFA®, FRM®, and CAIA® – and a CA(SA). Before becoming an expert trainer, Russell completed his accounting articles at Arthur Andersen, and spent almost a decade in private equity with Kagiso Ventures.

Candidates who learn with Edge earn more than a designation – they connect with experienced industry professionals, creating a network that enables them to integrate into the industry. Edge lives by the values of responsibility, integrity, passion, community and legacy, and encourages candidates to do the same.
