2013 Schweser Notes for 2015 Level 1 CAIA exam

Hi

Can I use my 2013 Level 1 Schweser notes for the March 2015 Level 1 exam. I do not want to buy a new set of material.

Yes, the book has been the same since 2012

No, its a gamble…things change slightly from year to year.

That is true for the CFA, but for the CAIA the book has been the same since April 2012

CAIA Level I: An Introduction to Core Topics in Alternative Investments, 2nd Edition

Authors:

  • Mark J. P. Anson, CAIA
  • Donald R. Chambers, CAIA
  • Keith H. Black, CAIA
  • Hossein Kazemi, Ph.D., CFA

ISBN: 978-1-1182-5096-9 Hardcover: 896 pages April 2012

Core CAIA is the same, but supplemental readings (articles) can change every year.

For example, they removed 3 articles and added 3 new ones for L2 for 2015.

Out:

Topic 2.11

T 3.9

T 9.3

New ones:

Topic 6 - art C & D

T 9 - art C

This…so get new schweser which will reference the articles.

The CAIA Level I curriculum has not changed. The articles that have changed are in the Level II curriculum.
