The 201 CFA Program Curriculum is organized into 18 study sessions to help candidates navigate the material. Each study session includes assigned readings (drawn from textbook chapters, professional journal articles, CFA Program-commissioned content, cases, and research analyst reports); learning outcome statements; and problem sets that demonstrate practical application and reinforce understanding of the concepts presented in the readings. For convenience, the assigned readings are assembled into multiple self-contained volumes. CFA has: * Sequenced the readings in conformity with the study sessions * Reprinted the pertinent learning outcome statements before each reading * Added study resources, such as an improved outline, a comprehensive index, and a unified glossary * Printed the curriculum in two-color format to enrich the visual appeal and clarity of the exhibits, tables, and required versus optional treatments.
