AF Proposition: CFA L3 Study Materials

CFA Level III
#1

Hi Fellow L3ers, I hope everyone is making progress (or gearing up to start) on studying for the June exam. As I was reading through the material today I had the thought of creating a set of video lessons for some of the more difficult study sessions to share with the AF community (and to help me better retain/internalize the material!).

I’m putting it to the forum to see if there’s any interest. If there is, post the study sessions you want me to create a video for and I’ll draw something up and post it on YouTube.

**Note: Everything is fair game but if it’s one of the later study sessions, I might not get to it until I finish my first read-through of the curriculum.

commodites would probably be useful for many. I found the 2012 section poorly written and confusing,

#3

if you can explain portfolio attribution in the most simplest manner. And show the different calculations. That section drives me nut.

Hi guys, I ended up putting this together: http://www.alchemistsacademy.com/cfa-level-3/

Instead of a video it’s a presentation that you can work through at your leisure (works well on smartphones/tablets too). Hit ‘s’ on your keyboard to bring up the detailed notes for a slide.

I just have Alternative Investments up for now but I have ~10 readings that are close to finished. Let me know what you think… is this helpful? Would you prefer more/less detail?

If this is something that is value-add for enough people I’ll start cranking out more of these with the goal of covering most, if not all, of the curriculum by the June exam.

Edit 1: I’ll send out an email blast when I put up a new set of readings, so if you want that reminder you’ll need to sign up for an account.
