I disagree, this aināt kansas anymore - maybe at L1 this would hold true. Granted, NONE of the calculations Iāve seen throughout L1 and L2 are complex, but give an Econ undergrad or graduate a currency swaps item set and watch them flounder. Itās not that its incredibly difficult, but theyād either not know where to start or would invariably miss a step. Econ/Math/Eng/Physics majors may have a shot at L1 because it was like undergrad work, but L2 is a different gam----wait, ENGLISH MAJORS???
I absolutely agree with this, my point was that even the most ātechnicalā parts in CFA are not really technical enough compared to the material faced by the mentioned subjects so showing them these problems would mistakenly lead them to the conclusion that CFA is easy. I would go with a demonstration of volume instead if I wanted to make a point.
Having to memorize 300 formulas (as enumerated by the flash cards Iāve made so far), is daunting even if the relationships were just fractions.
