From the Publisher

The purpose of this study guide is to supply you the information required to pass the CFA Level II exam. The CFA Level II exam is the preliminary exam in a series of exams and industry experience needed to obtain the CFA designation. Once you’ve passed this exam, you are considered to be have covered the basics and the general breadth, but not the depth, of the information necessary to function as an analyst in today’s global economy.

Do not expect to pass if you are not properly prepared. You should also know that should you need to take the exam a second time, you can expect a completely different selection of questions. AIMR uses a rather large pool from which to select questions.

To retain in memory as much of the knowledge in this book for testing purposes you should first read the Learning Outcome Statements to get familiar with the section, answer the Assessment questions on the CD-ROM enclosed to see what are your weak areas. Then review more intensely your weak areas in the Learning Outcome Statements and then use the Financial Analyst Quizzer testing media to solidify what you have learned and to prepare you for testing and passing the exam.
