        Hi 300 members,

        I am planning to take CFA Level -1 in 2014. I haven’t registered yet, but I got schweser 2013 Notes from one of my friend which I have started studying. Just want to know if there are any changes in 2013 to 2014? Will I need to purchase new version of Notes as well ?

        Thanks,
        Me

            Repasting here for clarity:

            For the year 2014, the CFA Program curriculum for CFA Level I has seen minimal changes from 2013.
            Ethics, Quantitative Methods, Economics, Financial Reporting and Analysis,

            • Corporate Finance, Portfolio Management, Equity are pretty much exactly the same in 2014 as they were for 2013.
            • All the Fixed Income Readings (aside from one Reading, “Fundamentals of Credit Analysis”) have been replaced with 4 completely new Readings.
            • One Derivatives Reading, ‘Derivatives Markets and Instruments’, has been revised.
            • One Alternative Investments Reading, “Investing in Commodities”, has been deleted.
