<br />Salaam.
Please guide which is a better option and why.

I think it depends on your background and what do you intend to achieve from each of these qualifications. If you have some relevant experience then CFA may be a good option as it may open international opportunities in more developed financical markets. ON the side, doing the CFA would at least take you 4 years and in the meantime you wouldn't have any 'professional qualification' under your belt.
Whereas, an MBA from LUMS would be a better option if you don't have experience as firstly its a short-term business degree plus the brand should get you descent exposure to leading domestic players. The value of LUMS degree may not be comparable with CFA in the international environment.
Let us know what do you think.
