Does CFA exam & course fess eligible for tax relief in individual education?

no

nope. however, if you are a research analyst or fund manager, then yes, u do need cfa.

Attempted CFA level 1 5 years ago..was completely not ready for it..failed of course..now time to get serious as being in the investment line (im in a insurance company managing funds, mostly corporate and government bonds), I think I need CFA to move higher..registered for Dec 16 exam and now theres ebook and handbook?? WTF?? And I have to pay additional $$ for handbook..This was not the case 5 years ago..

anyways, is there a lot of changes to the text book every year? Can I still use the old text?

don't need CFA to be a fund manager. CFA just gives a boost but its not a requirement..Securities Commission's papers carry more weight than CFA for fund manager..

Hi all,

I just registered for the Level 1 exam in December. Was wondering if anyone has a set of printed second hand materials that I can purchase?

Does the syllabus deviate much from 2014 till now? If not I will start to self-study Level 1 soon with the resources available in my library.

anyone got cfa studying material that i can purchase?

I am an ACCA member. Does getting a CFA would be beneficial in my career path?

Just asking, if I enter the CFA right now. Do I have enough time to study for December Exam? Thank you.

Yes of course... if you manage your time well. Preferably finish reading through by end October. Along the way do the questions at the end of the reading and the topical questions in your online student account.

Final month should be kept for mock exam and more revision

Anyone have noesis level 1 notes to pinjam or sell to me?

Taking lvl II next year. Just started studying not long ago.

Decided to self study this time as classes are getting expensive!

Selling 2017 Schweser notes~ lvl 1 and 2. pm me.

Hello guys, Is the official textbook and Schweser sufficient to pass level 1?

Thank you for all ur input sifus.

2017 June candidate here.

Just the Schweser is sufficient.

If you can read and understand both, more than sufficient. Doing questions helps a lot.

Wondering if any CFA takers would like to give away/sell their books with minimal price? I dun mind to buy the outdated one, cos I dont plan to take CFA exam. Want to get the books for my self reference only. Thank you.
