I think FI is kinda mid-level difficulty.   The last couple of readings regading ABS and tranches and all that business is a bit confusing but not crazy difficult.  I need to read over this section and maybe watch a video for 1 reading.
VickyCool, I think you can do it in a month.  You can smash Alt Inv in half a week IMO.  I’m doing PM now, seems ok to me, memorise/understand a few intersting concepts and their formulas and you’re good to go.

woah, we seem to be in the same boat.. I think of giving 12 days to Alt+FI and 10 days to Derivatives + PM.. (4 hrs per day on average)

I didn’t find it very challenging, but that’s maybe because I’ve already studied the subject at uni. I agree with cleverCFA though, the structured securities can get a bit confusing, and they do have lots of details to remember as well..

Last time around, it was not as difficult. Of course being surrounded by derivatives and PM makes it easier on a comparative basis.

At first some of the readings seemed a bit intimidating but after going through the EOC problems, Ive found this section to be relatively straightforward so far.
