CFA Topic Weighting Changes 2015

Haven’t seen this posted yet but I noticed on the CFA website that topic weighting percentages for all levels have changed on the CFA website.

Topic Area Level I Level II Level III Ethical and Professional Standards 15 10-15 10-15 Quantitative Methods 12 5-10 0 Economics 10 5-10 5-15 Financial Reporting and Analysis 20 15-20 0 Corporate Finance 7 5-15 0 Equity Investments 10 15-25 5-15 Fixed Income 10 10-20 10-20 Derivatives 5 5-15 5-15 Alternative Investments 4 5-10 5-15 Portfolio Management and Wealth Planning 7 5-10 40-55 Total 100 100 100

Thoughts? I find it interesting that they’ve increased fixed incomes presence on the L2 exam. Possibly another item set on ethics, and max of two item sets on PM and Alt Investments. FRA max of 4 item sets

good FRA is down

I think we would be better off with FRA than Derrivatives… I hope I am wrong… :frowning:
