          What/Why CFA® Charter & How Can We Help?                              

          Administered by the US-based CFA Institute, the Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA®) Program is a graduate-level and globally recognised program for investment specialists. The resulting professional credential/designation assures clients, employers, and colleagues that you -as a charterholder, have mastered a rigorous finance and investment management curriculum; further that you are committed to the highest ethical standards in the profession. It is indeed, the most sought-after qualification by South African employers in the corporate finance and investments space.

          Syllabus & Exam Structure

          CFA® Syllabus Structure - All Levels

          The CFA® Program is structured into 3 challenging levels: 

          • Level I  (knowledge and understanding of investment tools and techniques);

          • Level II  (application of investment tools and techniques to asset valuation) and 

          • Level III (synthesis and evaluation of investment tools and techniques in the context of portfolio management and wealth planning).

          The above 3 levels are underpinned by a network of progressively challenging Learning Outcome Statements (LOSs), founded on 10 syllabus topic areas:  

          1. Ethics & Professional Standards; 

          2. Quantitative Methods; 

          3. Economics; 

          4. Financial Reporting & Analysis; 

          5. Corporate Finance; 

          6. Equity Investments; 

          7. Fixed Income; 

          8. Derivatives; 

          9. Alternative Investments; and 

          10. Portfolio Management and Wealth Planning.

          Structure of our CFA Course:

          For each level of the CFA® Programme, the 10 syllabus topic areas (as above) have been neatly demarcated into 5 books (volumes) based on our adopted and world-renown WILEY study materials: 

          Book 1: Ethics & Quantitative Methods

          Book 2: Economics

          Book 3: Financial Reporting & Analysis

          Book 4: Corporate Finance, Equity and Fixed Income

          Book 5: Derivatives, Alternative Investments & Portfolio Management

          • Hold a bachelor’s (or equivalent) degree, or

          • Have four years of work experience (not necessarily investment-related). 

          Please note: Although four years of work experience which is not necessarily-invested related will grant you eligibility, you will be required to submit three years of relevant work experience before being accorded the CFA Charter. This relevant experience you can gain before, during or after completing all the relevant CFA exams.
