I get a feeling that Schweser is missing on terms which are used in CFAI texts and which could possibly be mentioned in the exam leaving me riddled on exam day. I am left with one Book and that is Derivates and Portfolio Management. From past posts made, its been recommended to do Derivatives from CFAI, and Schweser for PM. Any suggestions? 'Cos I am planning to do both from the CFAI text.
is it possible to do them both??? some of the readings are quite concise in schweser and give a good wrap, but i feel you don’t get the full understanding. if i were doing it again, i would have a quick skim (like 10-20mins per chapter) then get into some questions. there’s no way possible you can read swaps and understand what is happening, it’s all practical. forwards, futures, options etc are the same. also with the swaps, pull out an excel spreadsheet and and do you workings in that. is time consuming doing the same calc 20 times. thirdly, go through the Q’s a couple times - you’ll forget the processes etc within a few days. best of luck
