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:
-
Ethics & Professional Standards;
-
Quantitative Methods;
-
Economics;
-
Financial Reporting & Analysis;
-
Corporate Finance;
-
Equity Investments;
-
Fixed Income;
-
Derivatives;
-
Alternative Investments; and
-
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
You have the flexibility to attend our Full course (comprising of all 5 books/modules -at each level), and/or our exam preparation classes.
