...derivative(不够仔细,属于走马观花,后来就没看了,结果不理想),安慰自 己说 economics 和 accounting 都有学过一点相关的课程,应该会轻松。 结果就这样 自欺欺人到 11 月 10 号左右,知道再也躲不过了,想想不去考算了,但是毕竟很多大 洋啊。于是开始拼小命看。 三个重点 我最开始认真看的部分就是 FSA,FSA 是听说历年考试的重中之重,单场考试里 面,120 题里面有 34 题是 FSA。 其中 LIFO,FIFO 更是必考的重点,其他一些重点也 都大多是比较性的那几个知识点,比如几种不同的 revenue recognition 方式适用的 范围,对各种 ratio 的影响,capitalize 和 expense 对 ratio 的影响,operting lease 和 capital lease 的各自影响什么的,Cash flow 的运算我以为很重要,实际考到的不多。 可以看出来实际考试是非常非常注重对于这些不同 accounting method 的理解,因 为大部分都是考深入概念,考 ratio 的 change。 建议把不同 method 对于 balance sheet 里面数据和 ratio 的影响记到非常熟练的程度,因为考试时间有限,我上午考试的时 候所有的变化都是现推导的,这部分严重超时,下午因为还记得上午推导的过程和 结果,所以做题就快了许多。另外我复习的时候因为时间关系,自以为是地没有好 好看 defered tax,off-balance-sheet 这几个重要的 LOS,这次考得很多,让我很吐 血。。因为在这部分花的时间多,我最后还是考到了 70%以上。 。。 FSA 是 level 1 pass 的关键,只要这个能上 70% pass 的机会就很大,反之则十分渺茫。所以如果精力和 时间有限,建议从这部分开始看。 corporate finance,equity 这部分是我最陌生的地方,但是翻了一下觉得知识点都比 较简单,而且非常连贯,是比较容易拿分的。于是成为第二个重点,我死命地看那些 WACC, dividend discount model,CAPM,简单的题也反复算,保证正确率,考试时候 果然考到不少,还有 NPV, IRR 的比较,也是每年必考。 如果只有两周时间准备 CFA, 那么一定要看透 DDM,顺带着看 return on equity, retention rate 和那几个 price multiplier。这几个点串着的,看起来快,考点重要,做题准确率高。 集中学习的两周里面,我把差不多一周时间分配在这两块内容上面。FSA 一共 4 个 study session,15 个小章节,corportate finance 和 equity 一共 3 个 study session,接 近 20 个小章节。基本正常速度应该差不多都是一个小时看一个小章节,半个小时 完成每个小章节后面的练习题,并且搞懂错在哪里。我记得大约一天学 6 个小章 节,分两次读,平均大约一次读四个半小时学习 3 个小章节。 。一次 FSA,一次 。 corporate finance 这样错开来看。我觉得强度大的学习是很有好处的,今天看到的,...

...CONCEPT PAPERONREGULATIONOF INVESTMENTADVISORS 1. Background 1.1 Section 11 (2)(b) of SEBI Act empowers SEBI to register and regulate working of Investment Advisors and such other intermediaries who may be associated with securitiesmarketin any othermanner. 1.2 As decided by SEBI Board in its meeting dated March 22, 2007, SEBI had posted a consultative paper on the “Regulation of Investment Advisors” on its website inviting public comments. Based on public commentsreceived on the consultative paper as also the USAID (Fire Project), a memorandum was placed before the SEBI Board proposing a regulatory approach forInvestment Advisors. It was proposed that the Regulationsshall be implemented through an SRO. As Investment Advisors offer products across asset classes, it wasfelt that the respective regulators may take a view and formulate similar norms and code of conduct. Accordingly a reference was made to the HLCC on Financial and Capital Markets. 1.3 HLCCFM in its meeting held on December 22, 2008 set up the D. Swarup Committee to re‐examine the issue. The committee submitted its report to government in December 2009 which was discussed in the HLCCFM meeting in March 2010. Subsequently, regulatory issuesrelating to Wealth Management and / Private Banking undertaken by banks were discussed by the FSDC Sub‐Committee in itsmeeting on March 4, 2011. 1.4 In this background, SEBI has developed a framework for regulation of investment advisorsthrough the SROroute. ...

...What is a great Workplace ? 1. The Employee View : Great workplaces are built through the day-to-day relationships that employees experience — not a checklist of programmes and benefits. The key factor in common in these relationships is TRUST. From the Employee’s perspective, a great workplace is one where they: * TRUST the people they work for; * Have PRIDE in what they do; and * ENJOY the people they work with. 2. The Manager View : From the Manager’s perspective, a great workplace is one where they: 3. ACHIEVE ORGANISATIONAL OBJECTIVES; 4. With employees who GIVE THEIR PERSONAL BEST; and 5. WORK TOGETHER AS A TEAM / FAMILY in an environment ofTRUST 4 things that makes companies great place to work for : A strong positive culture, firmly grounded in a meaningful purpose. ’Culture’ has, too often, come to mean ‘perks.’ But while a ping-pong table in the break room and coupons for burgers are fun – they’re not the core of a great culture. What people are looking for is an environment that supports and rewards excellence, honesty, mutual support, and fair dealing; where people get great results and they’re treated well….and neither is optional. Truly strong cultures are supported from the C-suite on down: the employees report that their boss – and their boss’ boss, and so on – live by the espoused values. That’s when a culture comes alive. People also want to feel that their strong culture exists to support meaningful work. For example...
