标题: Indentifying Topics in the Text [打印本页] 作者: scruge 时间: 2011-8-10 18:06 标题: Indentifying Topics in the Text
How do you know which sections of the text correspond to the various topics as per the CFA website? The TOC for each book lists each SS as pertaining to Portfolio Management
Which SS relate to Equity, Alt, Fixed, and Derivatives?作者: economicz 时间: 2011-8-10 18:22

answer is to know every LOS and SS cold.....questions can pertain to more than one SS, so you could have an essay that asks for items from SS 4, 7 and 16作者: LBriscoe 时间: 2011-8-10 18:54
My question is really about the study materials rather than the actual exam. If the stated weight of equity is X%, how do you identify equity in the books?

Ehmm... perhaps with book 4 bearing the title "fixed income and equity portfolio management"? Same with book 5 for alt. assets and derivatives.作者: sabre 时间: 2011-8-10 19:26
L3 is not cut and dry like L2 and L1 in terms of weightings....PM is between 40-60%, and they give no indication of what specific SS those come from....KNOW IT ALL作者: lucasg85 时间: 2011-8-10 19:42
Got that, but what's confusing is that the table of contents indicates PM at the very top.

the other part is the text never INDENTS stuff to make it understandable. (pun on your typo in the message subject). If Indenting be your thing, then you need to do it all on your own.
In addition to identifying whether something belongs to an LOS or not. As someone else had written above (or on another post) - I believe it was SkipE99 - the LOS in one study session could have overlap / be stated differently / bring in new terminology / confuse everything out of you elsewhere. So be prepared.

None of this is truly essential. I'm just trying to set up a study plan that allocates time, at least in some measure, on the topic weightings. In Level II, this doesn't seem entirely possible, an naturally I'll live with it.
