Glossary G-1 indicates an optional segment © CFA Institute For candidate use only Not for distribution © CFA Institute For candidate use only Not for distribution How to Use the CFA Program Curriculum Congratulations on your decision to enter the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) Program This exciting and rewarding program of study reflects your desire to become a serious investment professional You are embarking on a program noted for its high ethical standards and the breadth of knowledge, skills, and abilities (competencies) it develops Your commitment should be educationally and professionally rewarding The credential you seek is respected around the world as a mark of accomplishment and dedication Each level of the program represents a distinct achievement in professional development Successful completion of the program is rewarded with membership in a prestigious global community of investment professionals CFA charterholders are dedicated to life-long learning and maintaining currency with the ever-changing dynamics of a challenging profession CFA Program enrollment represents the first step toward a career-long commitment to professional education The CFA exam measures your mastery of the core knowledge, skills, and abilities required to succeed as an investment professional These core competencies are the basis for the Candidate Body of Knowledge (CBOK™) The CBOK consists of four components: ■■ A broad outline that lists the major CFA Program topic areas (www.cfainstitute org/programs/cfa/curriculum/cbok); ■■ Topic area weights that indicate the relative exam weightings of the top-level topic areas (www.cfainstitute.org/programs/cfa/curriculum); ■■ Learning outcome statements (LOS) that advise candidates about the specific knowledge, skills, and abilities they should acquire from readings covering a topic area (LOS are provided in candidate study sessions and at the beginning of each reading); and ■■ CFA Program curriculum that candidates receive upon exam registration Therefore, the key to your success on the CFA exams is studying and understanding the CBOK The following sections provide background on the CBOK, the organization of the curriculum, features of the curriculum, and tips for designing an effective personal study program BACKGROUND ON THE CBOK CFA Program is grounded in the practice of the investment profession CFA Institute performs a continuous practice analysis with investment professionals around the world to determine the competencies that are relevant to the profession, beginning with the Global Body of Investment Knowledge (GBIK®) Regional expert panels and targeted surveys are conducted annually to verify and reinforce the continuous feedback about the GBIK The practice analysis process ultimately defines the CBOK The CBOK reflects the competencies that are generally accepted and applied by investment professionals These competencies are used in practice in a generalist context and are expected to be demonstrated by a recently qualified CFA charterholder © 2021 CFA Institute All rights reserved vii viii © CFA Institute For candidate use only Not for distribution How to Use the CFA Program Curriculum The CFA Institute staff—in conjunction with the Education Advisory Committee and Curriculum Level Advisors, who consist of practicing CFA charterholders—designs the CFA Program curriculum in order to deliver the CBOK to candidates The exams, also written by CFA charterholders, are designed to allow you to demonstrate your mastery of the CBOK as set forth in the CFA Program curriculum As you structure your personal study program, you should emphasize mastery of the CBOK and the practical application of that knowledge For more information on the practice analysis, CBOK, and development of the CFA Program curriculum, please visit www cfainstitute.org ORGANIZATION OF THE CURRICULUM The Level I CFA Program curriculum is organized into 10 topic areas Each topic area begins with a brief statement of the material and the depth of knowledge expected It is then divided into one or more study sessions These study sessions should form the basic structure of your reading and preparation Each study session includes a statement of its structure and objective and is further divided into assigned readings An outline illustrating the organization of these study sessions can be found at the front of each volume of the curriculum The readings are commissioned by CFA Institute and written by content experts, including investment professionals and university professors Each reading includes LOS and the core material to be studied, often a combination of text, exhibits, and in- text examples and questions End of Reading Questions (EORQs) followed by solutions help you understand and master the material The LOS indicate what you should be able to accomplish after studying the material The LOS, the core material, and the EORQs are dependent on each other, with the core material and EORQs providing context for understanding the scope of the LOS and enabling you to apply a principle or concept in a variety of scenarios The entire readings, including the EORQs, are the basis for all exam questions and are selected or developed specifically to teach the knowledge, skills, and abilities reflected in the CBOK You should use the LOS to guide and focus your study because each exam question is based on one or more LOS and the core material and practice problems associated with the LOS As a candidate, you are responsible for the entirety of the required material in a study session We encourage you to review the information about the LOS on our website (www cfainstitute.org/programs/cfa/curriculum/study-sessions), including the descriptions of LOS “command words” on the candidate resources page at www.cfainstitute.org FEATURES OF THE CURRICULUM End of Reading Questions/Solutions All End of Reading Questions (EORQs) as well as their solutions are part of the curriculum and are required material for the exam In addition to the in-text examples and questions, these EORQs help demonstrate practical applications and reinforce your understanding of the concepts presented Some of these EORQs are adapted from past CFA exams and/or may serve as a basis for exam questions (15) Start with the definition of variance for a three-asset portfolio and see how it decomposes into three variance terms and six covariance terms Dispensing with the derivation, the result is Equation 16: V2 R p E êô R p ER p ằ ẳ ^ E êơw1R1 w2 R2 w3 R3 E w1R1 w2 R2 w3 R3 º¼ ^ ` `
