This 2014 survey was conducted to seek input from CFA Institute members, to gather feedback on market sentiment, performance, and market integrity issues.
CFA Institute members report greater optimism over economic prospects for the coming year, with an especially dramatic turn in sentiment from European members compared to last year. But these same investment professionals do not express confidence that the integrity of capital markets is improving. As markets rebound, CFA Institute is working to ensure that attention does not shift away from meaningful reforms that might restore investor trust and strengthen the financial system’s ability to resist shocks in the future.
