2019 LOS are out

CFAI just published 2019 LOS. At level 1 Fintech appears in the Portfolio Management study session 13 and at level 2 it appears in quant methods. LOS are the same at both levels. Wondering if the readings are the same or if the level 2 is more quantitatively oriented.

Where’d you find the LOS info? I do see on their site under curriculum that they may have made minor changes to weightings of the exam? Could be wrong though.

For L2, i think they changed FRA, CF, Equity, Derivatives, and PM.

FRA’s and Equity’s maximum weight decreased. sad

Fintech in investment is not an additional subject in CFA syllabus, it is a new chapter added in quant and even did see any chapter on cryptocurrency.

Which reading covered fintech in the 2018 curriculum? I do not remember reading anything on it for level 1.

i think this topic is added starting 2019 curriculum only.

It looks like they added a reading on analyzing financial institutions for FRA level 2 as well.

Looks interesting.

Did anyone already identify differences in L3 LOS 2018 vs. 2019?

Check the level 3 forum, there is a guy who made a video going over the differences for L3.

Cryptocurrency is covered under the section about Ponzi schemes.
