CFA® Level I
Level I covers the foundations of finance with a significant emphasis on the analytical tools, especially accounting and quantitative techniques. Although the depth of these topics may seem challenging, the benefit to candidates is the ability to “uncook the books” and get behind the published numbers.
The course curriculum contains ten different subjects, and it is exciting to see how many interlinks there are between topics as you progress through them; you cannot understand bonds without a bit of quants, and equity valuation hinges directly on the financial statements of a business.
