Thanks Siew14! Do u still remember how much is the price? Is BA II Plus sufficient or do I need BA II Plus Professional?

Congratulations to all who have passed!

May I know did u guys self-study or attend classes?
Was thinking whether wanna sign up for classes with Noesis or not.[QUOTE]

no worries... less than rm200 if i m not mistaken... Either one will do... and of course professional ver is slightly expensive..

For level 1, self study is sufficient.... ( that is what most ppl will say ).

The ideal is first go through textbook then notes from third party... ( my point of view )

memang survivorship bias... especially in the analystforum, when i waiting for the result to release, the one who posted in forum are the one who passed....
=.=

office... just walk in will do... give them a call before u go of course ( like ask about the price and still got stock or not )

no min quantity.. i bought one unit only last time.

self study is sufficient for lvl 1 bro... unless your are not finance background...

no need tuition la... ues that money buy kaplan schweser notes is better imo.... my point of view la...

study textbook then notes (thats what i did )... or notes straight away if you dont have time....

level 2 onwards is better to tuition according to the forumers here... not sure as i havent take lv2...

1. No. You need 4 years of work exp to become chartholder only after passing all 3 levels.

2. Yes. Also, if you are in final year or semester ( cant remember ) of your degree, you could only sit for level 1... lv 2 and 3 needs a degree..

Yes, i do agree CFA will do make you stand out, but by a bit only... CFA is more recognized in equity research and portfolio management... other than that, so so only IMHO..... you try browse the website in CFA, they got a chart shows the chartholder's profession...

since u are second year, will suggest you try your best aim for first class honour instead of take CFA exam lv 1... I mean you could take CFA after you got your degree la.... Cause what i m worried is that , you will change your mind after you graduate as you know more about finance industry, or realized IB is not what you want ??? Or, because of CFA level 1, you cant cope up with uni work, and at the end, you may get lower cgpa and fail CFA level 1 also???

But it is good for you to ask and plan now...


why hewlett packard HP12c? Texas instruments can? Cause i bought mine from a shop in seksyen 14 pj, starbucks that area, opposite of toyota service center... about rm 100 over?? cant remember.. lol...

Hello peeps, now is already march.... how is your studies going?




Yes, books given by CFA after registration is the textbook.... However, you could order from them without register the exam - i asked them before- But the textbook is quite costly as well, is like might as well pay a little bit to register for the exam..

that is early awesome.. 2 months before exam...


gambateh!
need to pick up abit like fino... already in revision mode liao...

gambeteh!

6 copies... they will ship it you for USD20 , under UPS i think...
of course orignal version.... forget about the softcopy.... caues u will most likely get the schweser notes in soft copy... lol...

for CFA exp, must something related to investment.... not just in general line.. you could check their cfa website for further details...

what i have in mind was so long you job scope is to assist ppl to make investment decision, then most likely you will qualified... such as equity analyst & fund manager...

and yes, 4 years are needed.

depends what kind of person are u? prefer to read a hard copy book or prefer reading article in pc?

pick which ever version can make you focus and study....

the difference is just, one is printed version, the other one is softcopy ...everything is the same...

have you read all over 60 pages of this CFA thread? it helps... also, try search cfa/equity research/investment banking in job careeer section, will give you a rough idea wat u wana be, and does CFA is the paper i wana pursue..

In lowyat means lowyat forum, garage sales or lowyat complex or wat? lol. Hope RM168 is not second hand.. hahaha...
you can try go sek 14 there to buy. here is the address

3 Two Square, Suite A-28-06, No 2 Jalan 19/1, 46300 Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. company name is statworks








kinda sucks that i couldnt find any job in stockbroking/asset management industry with cfa lvl1 (not even an interview for associate position and local boutique as well)

current job is too bored, and i m looking forward for july to register lv2... thats my aim for now..

i was aiming for entry position for ER, so with at least lvl1, it give u some edge compared to other candidates who doesnt have? especially those not from the industry itself and without cfa?

what i dont have is the pratical exp, have not pay any "tuition fees" yet, would like accumalate more knowledge (been reading lots of report) before paying "tuition fees" indirectly, to pay less "tuition fees".

and since no reponse from boutique research house, my alternative will be looking for any jobs in the industry, to gain some knowledge whereas you cant as a retail investor... at least you're working in the industry, but different department...

you can turnaround and say, perhaps you cant sell yourself because ur resume & letter is piece of crap.. i would say why not we use this piece of crap to apply for other clerical or back office job in the industry while improving the content of the resume/letter? to improve the probability ?

chartholder? REALLY? if you were saying lv 2 candidates, then i believe la... that is something new to me. and i do agree that malaysia doesnt value CFA that much compared to other countries.. haha..

so do how do you venture into the industry ?

ok this is new, i thought they sure caught you on the spot, instead of privately send you an email saying you are still writting despite time is over, and bla bla bla..

Can you please share more about this?

yeah you could, but cfa is not a golden ticket to investment field FYI.

but it will give you slight or abit advantage assuming all else equal.

why so quiet one? usually result day alot of ppl spamming how come they have not receive the email , or how nervous they are ...

what an exciting moment back in july 2012..

FB? malaysia cfa group?
