I’ve got a problem.
In one month, I’m scheduled to take the Chartered Financial Analyst Level 1 exam. In case you’re not familiar with them, the CFA exams are reputed to be the most difficult exams in the finance field, requiring a mastery of a vast amount of material across several disciplines, including:
-Accounting & Financial Statement Analysis
-Economics
-Securities (Equity and Fixed Income)
-Portfolio Management
-Derivatives
-Options
-Technical Analysis
-Quantitative Analysis
-Alternative Investments
-Ethics
… and a dozen things I’m sure I’m forgetting.
The pass rate is around 40%.
I’m only halfway through the curriculum.
It’s time for an audit… a time audit.
