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.

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!

[Marcel Patulacci · Rating 2 out of 5]

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]

[Baconator · Rating 4 out of 5]

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?
