An applicant for CFA Institute membership registering for CFA China member service is required to obtain two sponsors, one regular member of CFA Institute and the applicant’s supervisor. At least one of these sponsors must be a CFA Institute member who is registered for member service through CFA China.

If the supervisor requirement cannot be met because you are the principal of the firm, a student, retired, or self-employed, or if providing a supervisor sponsor places you in a difficult professional position, then an additional sponsorship by a regular CFA Institute member is required. When you apply online you will receive an e-mail containing a link to the sponsor submission tool which you may forward to the appropriate individuals for completion.
