caia

Ich hab da so ein paar Ideen, was man mit Resten alles so machen kann...

I detta avsnitt träffar jag, Jonny Rosengren, Mikael Snabb VD och medgrundare till Caia Cosmetics.Tillsammans med Bianca Ingrosso och Jesper Matsch så lanserade de för snart tre år sedan Caia som med hjälp av Biancas stryka i sociala medier lyckats växa rekordsnabbt. I avsnittet får vi höra den fantastiska storyn om hur samarbetet med Bianca föddes och om hur de har lyckats involvera kunderna i hela resan från produktframtagning till försäljning.  

Mikael Snabb fick även en utmärkelse för Årets E-handelsprestation i E-star Awards 2020. Ni hittar mer information och klipp från prisutdelningen här: https://www.ecommercerecruit.se/e-star-awards-2020/

Mikaels råd till framtida entreprenörer

Mikael råder andra som vill göra samma resa att fundera kring vad som är rätt pris för rätt produkt. Erbjudandet måste stämma för att kunden ska komma tillbaka. Fokusera därför på extremt bra produkter istället för att fokusera på sajt och features.

Jobba även med något du brinner för och tycker är roligt. Du kommer att få lägga mycket tid på ditt företag så var bredd att lägga dygnets alla vakna timmar på detta. Mikael råder också att göra entreprenörsresan med någon annan. Att få dela framgångar och motgångar gör allt så mycket lättare och roligare längs med vägen.

Most of you are familiar with the CFA designation – the one that makes you lose at least 3 Springs of your life (if you are lucky), your friendships and sometimes your partner. The one that makes you, according to CFA Institute’s statistics, read 8,914 pages of material, study 3,865 equations and take 18 hours of examinations. It is true that studying for it can be a very daunting and time consuming task. But if you are really interested in it (and I am not here trying to convince you to become a CFA charterholder – although I think it is a great thing to do if you are passionate about finance), I think you are going to get a lot out of this episode.

I have been asked many times over the years about tips and tricks on how to improve your chances of passing the CFA exams. So, in this special episode in which we decided to be the ones doing all the talking, Luke and I put together a list 18 points that may improve your chances of being more successful in studying for the CFA exams. I must say that the combination of the points shared during this podcast made a huge difference in my studying attitude and I like to think they have positively influenced my results. Please note, however, that these are tactics that have worked well for me, and may not work so well for others, so pick whatever idea you like most and try to implement it to your mindset.

Also, here is a spoiler alert – if you are looking for tactics and/or ideas on how to tackle specific CFA curriculum material, you will not find any of it here. There are plenty of resources online for that.

The love for knowledge is really one of the main reasons why we started this project. We truly believe that education is not an end in itself, but a continuous journey. As Albert Einstein said, “Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death”.

With that in mind, if you look at the financial services world, there are really dozens of exams you can take in order to learn new things and improve your career prospects. Some of them are less well known, but I bet you will be familiar with a few of them, such as the CFA, the FRM and CAIA, to name a few.

For those of you who don’t know what CAIA is, it stands for Chartered Alternative Investments Analyst. And it is a financial designation that focuses specifically in Alternative Investments, such as structured products, commodities, real estate, private equity and hedge funds.

We had the pleasure of interviewing the Director of Exams at the CAIA Association, Dr. Nelson Lacey. What is interesting about this interview is that it does not only cover the CAIA designation on its own. There is an obvious curiosity, especially amongst undergraduate and graduates students in the field of finance and investing, about the benefit of an Alternative Investments designation. When people ask me about CAIA, I tend to naturally gravitate towards comparing it to the CFA designation. Of course, it makes sense, as everyone in our field knows what it is. And that is exactly what Dr. Lacey did during our interview.

If you are thinking about studying for the CAIA exams or are already a candidate, I really believe this conversation will help you. We cover topics such as the growth in the interest in alternative investments in emerging markets, especially in India and China, we discuss some misconceptions that people have about investing in alternatives, how the CAIA curriculum and exam questions are written, and much more.
