CFA® Level III

/ CFA® Level III

CFA® Level III

The final stage of the CFA Program, Level III has a strong focus on wealth planning and portfolio management. Some of the analytical subjects (accounting and quants in particular) drop from the curriculum, much to the disappointment of many candidates! Instead, you will investigate in detail the requirements and psychology of investors, with asset valuation being primarily from a portfolio perspective: how do shares, bonds, derivatives and alternatives help us to achieve a client’s objectives?

Evaluation and synthesis skills that you gain during the preparation for your final exam will enable you, on successful completion of Level III, to enter your workplace with your head held high: as a CFA charterholder.

Quartic Standalone Options

We have made some of our most valuable study resources that are integrated into our full support packages available for purchase as standalone products.

Candidates studying on their own may find it useful to purchase a Mock Exam or enrol on one of our intensive Revision Courses to aid with their final exam preparation.

In addition, candidates may wish to purchase our graphic rich workbooks which make complex topics easier to grasp and provide an intuitive understanding of the curriculum not just pages of algebra to memorise.

Our Q-sheet, an essential revision tool, can be used as a quick reference sheet when tackling exam style questions.

Exams

The final paper-based Level III exam will be held in December 2020 in some locations. This exam is 6 hours long, split into a morning and afternoon paper, which at Level III have different styles. The morning paper contains “constructed response” questions. This is a written paper in which each question component requires the candidate to circle an answer, write a few sentences, show a calculation, explain a statement, and so on. The afternoon paper contains four and six-part item sets in the same style as Level II.

From 2021, the Level III exam will move to computer-based testing with two exam windows each year. In 2021, these will be during May and November. The duration of the exam will be approximately 4.5 hours, split into two sessions with an optional break if candidates so wish. The first session will contain “constructed response questions” requiring candidates to enter their typed answers via the computer. The second session will contain a mix of four and six part “item-sets” and will be scored in proportion to their length. The exam will cover all seven topics in the Level III curriculum.

Curriculum

Level III has a strong focus on wealth planning and portfolio management. Some of the previous topic areas are dropped. The Level III curriculum consists of:

Ethical And Professional Standards
Economics
Equity Investments
Fixed Income
Derivatives
Alternative Investments
Portfolio Management

Benefits

Having passed both previous levels, Level III presents the final hurdle. Passing the Level III exam will:

Allow you to apply for your charter (assuming you have the necessary work experience)
Show your continued commitment to the program
Highlight your continued commitment to high standards of ethics
Provide you with real life portfolio management skills

Prerequisites

In order to enrol for Level III you need to:

Have passed Level II
Be in possession of a valid international passport
Sign the statement of professional conduct and pay exam fees to CFA Institute
Be able to write basic sentences in English
