Compliments of the season to you all!!

Can anyone help me out with L2 materials (soft copies). I am really behind reading schedule (after I lavished myself this holidays, afterall body no be firwood....doing a reality check now..) and need to make up by reading during free periods at work. Kindly forward to nnoromstan@gmail.com.

Thank you in advance.

Just 10 days to the release of L1 Dec 2012 exams. The oldies have done injustice to this thread o.

@wyt, there is this article that summarizes the answer to your question quite neatly:

Most of the guys who have just finished their CFA level I exam must be pondering over this question – what now? Should we wait for the results or start preparation for the level II exam right now?

Now there are 3 types of candidates: (1) Candidates who are sure about their passing the exam. (2) Candidates who are borderline cases. (3) Candidates who are sure of their failure.

For 3rd category, there is no need to start preparing for level II. They should focus on going through CFA level I curriculum and see where they actually missed the train. It is very very crucial for them to start preparing for L1 right now. We all have gone through this feeling before the exam that if we would have 1-2 days more, we would have managed passing marks. So, what are you waiting for. You have those days now. You are at your peak. Just go through all the topics and speed up the learning. If you miss these few days, then again mediocrity will fall in and you might have to start again from the scratch.

For 2nd category, it is very dicey and most of you will fall in this category. So, should you study the level II curriculum and wait for the results till mid of January or wait for the results? Well, as most of you would be aware that the difficulty level of level II is higher than that of level I and you need to spend a lot of time in going through the concepts. Wasting next 40-50 days won’t do any good. But what if you are not able to clear the level I exam? All of your efforts for the next 40-50 days would go waste as you need to redo the level I curriculum again. Nothing could be further from the truth. Most of the curriculum is similar to level I and is just an extension of level I. Ethics is almost same (Most of it is same across all the three levels). Economics also deals mostly with interest rate parity and exchange rates. In derivatives, there are valuation of instruments like forwards, futures, options and swaps. So, learning these will only help in understanding the L1 curriculum in a better way. Corporate finance, Equity, and Fixed Income have few new topics and other extensions (like valuation of equity securities, DCF, FCF, yield curve). In portfolio management, first chapter is the same as of level I (CAL, CML, SML, efficient frontier) but the other chapters are new. The first two chapters of FRA deal with inventory and long-lived assets. Most of other things in FRA are new. Most of the readings in QM are new and deal with regression. Alternative Investments also has different readings than those of level I.

For candidates falling in 2nd category, it is advisable that they choose few or all of these subjects (Ethics, Derivatives, Economics, Equity, Corp Fin, Fixed Income, FRA) and start reading these. You can read other subjects as well if you are interested like AI or PM or QM. Don’t just study these readings carelessly as it won’t help at all. Study these with an eye for details and dig deeper into the topics to understand the concepts. Level II is mostly conceptual. It is extremely difficult to pass if the concepts are not clear. Even if the result is not favorable in mid of January, you would be learning a lot and that would make level I curriculum a cakewalk.

For 1st category of candidates, they just need to make a study plan and start following that accordingly. You have done lots of hard work for level I exam. Just keep continuing that effort and level III candidate will look good when the June 2013 results will be out. You need to work right now. Few days of rest is okay. But don’t waste much time. You must try to complete at least half of the course before the announcement of level I result. Try to push yourself. Make tougher targets. When life gets too easy then it gets boring. Challenging yourself is a great way to keep life interesting. You might be feeling bored by revising level I curriculum again and again in last few weeks. Lets plunge into the new readings. You will definitely enjoy the learning. Don’t waste your time till the announcement of result. Time is running. Make the best use of it and try to become CFA charter holder in the least possible time.

Hello guys.
Pls is there a tutorial centre here in Abuja? I want to start the program but I see location as a small barrier as I'm based in the FCT.

I received a call from a consultant who wanted a CFA member for one of their client (a financial org based in VI) but am just a level 2 candidate. They asked me to suggest a person for the position, I told them I will get back to them tomorrow.
So if u are a CFA member contact me here or email me. Ebt228m(at)yahoo.com

Just apply. Your application doesn't depend on the success or otherwise of others. It's a pretty straightforward stuff with a little essay on why you deserve it.

@lacord5 & @lollyaca SENT!

Please, is anyone writing Dec 2013 Level 1 and resident in Port Harcourt? and any good lecture centre in Port Harcourt ?

11 days to go.. best of luck June candidates.

Am interested in getting a CFA, but my limitations includes;
1. I stay in Abia and that means I will likely be doing the readings on my own.
2.How do I get the study materials, Shweser or Stalla either hard copy or Soft Copy (if anyone will be kind of to email one to me or give me a link for download)
3. I am yet to figure how CFA will help me fit into my current job in a Govt ministry or help me get a job in an investment bank (but I have no experience in the banking sector)

Who among you gurus can help out and tell me how to achieve this goal and overcome the limitations.
Thanks
