nonsense? mind to point em out?
this is a discussion anyway

Hi there,

Can I have a lowdown on Kasturi College?

How is the CFA classroom environment and the lecturers there?

How are their notes and do they use any Schweser or Stalla supplementaries?

Appreciate if any Kasturi student can state the full pros and cons.

Thanks!

2009 CFA level 2 Schweser notes for sale (photocopy)

interested pls pm me.

thanks!

is cfa useful only to those who wants to venture into investment banking?

My dad has CFA certification and is doing unit trusts.

cfa needed a degree to proceed how about some people got a mba but no degree (those who enrol mba thru years of working experience) can they take cfa?
is mba really useless if taken with abc university rather than the well known U?

it's not the name of Uni that matters. It's the accreditations and worldwide recognitions that count. Look for AT LEAST an AMBA accredited mba.
Triple accredited MBA would be excellent.
MBA is a masters degree. So no worries.

Anyone taking CFA level 2 this June 2009 interested in forming a study group?

sofspy, do you know where to take the exams on cfa (no lecture, just self study)? Planning to take level 1 next year.

When you sign up you get one free sample exam. For my level 1 i borrowed my friends exam notes from Kasturi...and actually it was pretty irrelevant they focus so much on calculation and level 1 was pretty much basics and theory. But pls dun let me discourage you from taking their notes because the best confidence reliever is to redo exam notes again and again.

Also, you can get Shwesser And Stella exam notes online but you have to pay..there are a few website which also offers at a lower price just try to google it.

thanks for your info sofspy. Do you know where the Test Centre is in M'sia? Is it affiliated with any colleges?

Well i am not sure if test centre remains the same but as of the last two years it was held at Sunway Covention Centre, and nope CFA program is not affiliated with any colleges. Some education centres might offer programs specifically on CFA but CFAI is not tied to any of them, reason being to avoid being seen as bias.

How much for this course if i doing the self-way?
thanks

are the schweser notes alone adequate to sit for the exam? are there any actual textbooks and do ppl use them?

Well textbooks are enough. And textbooks come with the registration fees.

are ok so textbooks are enough? but i heard that the textbooks are pretty thick and some rely on the schweser notes alone? is that possible, to just rely on schweser?

My dad is a grader and he says textbook is enough. No need to rely on notes or go for courses or whatever

I recently came across an instituition in M'sia that provides MBA + CFA combo.
Means that u take both courses concurrently in the 3 years time -
1st CFA Level 1 + some MBA modules... til year 3 with CFA level 3.
fees around MYR 50K excl CFA registration fee + exam fees...

i personally think it's quite a good choice where u kill 2 birds with 1 stone? the only catch is that you need to have 5 years of working experience in order to enroll, in which, for those graduates that have 2-3 years of working experience... is a bit big downturn.

wht do u guys think? worth pursuing?
