Hi guys, hope studies are progressing well for you.

Did any of you came across Schweser 2019 vs 2018 curriculum changes pdf document? Somehow can’t find it anywhere this year.

I just got to Equity PM in the 2019 books and am looking at 2018 books from Kaplan and it looks like they added and deleted stuff???

Added : All things regarding Factor investing, Fundamental vs. Quantitative investing, Portfolio Construction, Activist Investing, Active Share, Risk Budgeting (contribution to portfolio variance, etc.).

Deleted : Components of Total Active Return (True Active Risk vs. Misfit Active Risk), Core-Satellite vs. Completeness Approaches, Alpha/Beta Separation, Utility of Active Return (although still in Asset Allocation)

Anyone notice this with Equity or any other subject? :angry: :angry: :angry:

Double check with the official curriculum again but I recall seeing lots of changes made to equity (for a small topic that only had 50 pages in 2018, yeah that’s a lot).

#5

All four Equity readings are new.

I believe that they changed a few of the LOSs in Fixed Income, and there’s one new section in one of the readings, but they’re largely unchanged.

I prefer as FEW changes as POSSIBLE. Trying to pass this damn thing and it’d be great if I didn’t have to amend my existing notes and learn more!
