As a reminder of how stressful this curriculum made me this year.
3100 pages. Full of knowledge.
P.s. Be prepared to have multiple breakdowns.

Interesting that this has a rating on Goodreads....

As with all the CFA Curriculum, overall quality is excellent. Level 1 Curriculum provides a great introduction to financial markets.

An unusual book to add to Goodreads, but thought I'd have it here regardless. My initial impression was that the CFAI text was quite lengthy and boring, but in the days leading up to the exam, I realised that reading the curriculum is the way to go. I wish they formatted it a little better and tried to keep it a little crisp.

basically an undergrad finance degree … brutal

A great collection of books which allows the reader to explore financial analytics, investments and etc.

The contents of this collection are based on CFA exam structure which include ethic, quantitative analysis, financial reporting, equity investment, alternative investment, derivatives, portfolio management, and many more. However, some contents are pretty hard to grasp for a beginner. To fully utilize the knowledge from the collection, reading along with finding real examples elsewhere is highly recommended.

Derivatives made me cry, FSA felt like never ending, fixed income was fucking annoying and ethics were just stupid. Definitely not a page turner!

Like many before me, I came to the Curriculum under the explicit compulsion of its namesake exam. Yet, even when separated from that purpose, and considered in its entirety, the Curriculum truly gives the diligent all the foundations necessary to grasp the workings of finance. There is scarcely a page of the Financial Times whose meaning would remain obscure to a reader who has given these books their due consideration.

A word of warning. The Curriculum, read cover to cover, is not merely instructive but consuming. It occupies the mind in such a manner that other subjects are made to seem provisional, with ordinary conversation feeling insufficient to its scale. This is a condition altogether difficult to conceal. You begin carrying it around like an unwanted instrument that continues to tune itself in the background long after the last page has been closed. You start talking differently, listening differently. You might imagine yourself better informed for it, more discerning, more complete in judgement. This would be incorrect. You have merely acquired a newer, more portentous form of insufferability. It is not an unintended consequence of the Curriculum. It is, in a sense, its most reliable output.

As a benchmark.

It was a pain in the arse to go through the whole material and I am probably still going to fail the exam anyway.

[Avery Roman · Rating 1 out of 5]

Because I am having to read this for the next 3 months I'm counting this shit. Its the least I deserve for this hell I have chosen for myself.

[Jawad Mohd · Rating 1 out of 5]

F this book .

[June B · Rating 4 out of 5]

Did I break down a few times while reading this? Yes. But it's still some of the best body of finance knowledge work ever compiled, so I can't hate.

this caused me way too much emotional and mental turmoil to NOT at least count towards my reading goal

hello

Comprehensive curriculum that is a solid introduction to numerous financial topics. Some topics can use work to increase clarity, but what would be the fun in that?
