CFA Syllabus
CFA Course Syllabus – Level 1, 2 and 3
The CFA course syllabus runs across three levels, each building on the last. Here is what each level covers and how Amquest Education structures your CFA exam preparation for each level:
CFA Level 1 Coaching – Foundations of Finance
CFA Level 1 covers 10 core topics that form the base of the full CFA program. Sessions target first-attempt clearance with live teaching, daily practice questions, and topic-wise CFA Juice Notes.
Module 1 – Ethics and Professional Standards (15–20%)
The highest-weight topic in CFA Level 1 coaching. We cover the CFA Institute Code of Ethics, Standards of Professional Conduct, and GIPS in detail. More than rules, this module trains you to reason through real ethical scenarios the way the exam tests them.
Module 2 – Quantitative Methods (6–9%)
This module builds the mathematical base you carry into every other topic in the CFA course syllabus. We work through time value of money, probability, statistics, regression, and hypothesis testing with applied practice at every step.
Module 3 – Economics (6–9%)
We cover market structures, business cycles, macroeconomic frameworks, and currency exchange. You will leave this module knowing how economic conditions connect to investment decisions across CFA levels.
Module 4 – Financial Statement Analysis (11–14%)
One of the most applied topics in the CFA program. This module teaches you to read and interpret income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements the way analysts and research professionals actually use them.
Module 5 – Corporate Issuers (6–9%)
This module covers capital structure, leverage, working capital management, and business models. You will understand how companies make financing and operating decisions and why those decisions matter for valuation.
Module 6 – Equity Investments (11–14%)
We go through equity markets and valuation methods, including DDM, FCFE, and relative valuation. This module has a direct link to equity research and IB analyst roles you can target after clearing this CFA level.
Module 7 – Fixed Income (11–14%)
One of the most technical and highest-weight topics in CFA Level 1. We’ll cover bond pricing, yield measures, duration, convexity, and credit risk with exam-style practice questions throughout.
Module 8 – Derivatives (5–8%)
We will teach you about forwards, futures, options, and swaps one by one, covering the pricing mechanics and the risk management use cases that the CFA Level 1 exam tests you on.
Module 9 – Alternative Investments (7–10%)
You will learn about private equity, real estate, commodities, hedge funds, and infrastructure, and how each is evaluated and where each fits when building a portfolio.
Module 10 – Portfolio Management (8–12%)
This module covers portfolio theory, risk-return frameworks, and CAPM. It builds the foundation for the deeper portfolio strategy for the next levels of your CFA coaching.
CFA Level 2 Coaching – Application and Valuation
CFA Level 2 shifts from knowing concepts to applying them. The exam uses case-based item sets where questions are linked, not standalone. Amquest sessions follow this format from week one so the structure is not new on exam day.
Module 1 – Ethics and Professional Standards (10–15%)
At CFA Level 2, ethics moves from recall to judgment. Case studies are longer and more layered. You will practise identifying violations and recommending corrective actions across scenarios where the right answer is not obvious.
Module 2 – Quantitative Methods (5–10%)
This module takes the quantitative foundation from CFA Level 1 coaching further into multiple regression, time series analysis, and machine learning basics as they apply to investment analysis.
Module 3 – Economics (5–10%)
We cover currency analysis, economic growth models, and how macroeconomic data feeds into investment strategy. More applied and analytical than the economics module at CFA Level 1.
Module 4 – Financial Reporting and Analysis (10–15%)
This module goes deeper than FSA at Level 1. We cover intercorporate investments, pension accounting, multinational operations, and financial statement quality, areas that come up directly in research and corporate finance roles after clearing this CFA level.
Module 5 – Corporate Issuers (5–10%)
We cover capital allocation decisions, M&A analysis, corporate restructuring, and ESG considerations. This module applies and extends the corporate issuers’ work from CFA Level 1.
Module 6 – Equity Valuation (10–15%)
Equity Valuation gets more exam weight in CFA Level 2 than most other topics. We teach DDM, FCFF, FCFE, residual income models, and market-based valuation with a focus on how analysts actually apply them, not just how to solve for the right answer.
Module 7 – Fixed Income (10–15%)
The Level 2 Fixed Income module picks up where CFA Level 1 left off, so in this, we cover term structure models, credit analysis, structured products, and credit default swaps.
Module 8 – Derivatives (5–10%)
We cover pricing and valuation of options, futures, swaps, and forwards using arbitrage-free models. This module also brings in strategy and risk management applications not covered at Level 1.
Module 9 – Alternative Investments (5–10%)
This module covers private equity and real estate valuation methods, hedge fund strategies, and due diligence frameworks at a more technical level than the CFA Level 1 alternatives overview.
Module 10 – Portfolio Management (10–15%)
We cover active vs passive management, factor models, risk management strategies, and trading cost analysis. This module sets up the full portfolio strategy and pathway work in CFA Level 3 coaching.
CFA Level 3 Coaching – Portfolio Strategy and Your Pathway
CFA Level 3 is the final stage of the CFA program. It covers portfolio management, wealth planning, and behavioral finance, plus 30–35% of the exam on one chosen pathway. Amquest prepares you across all three options so you go in knowing your material, not guessing.
Module 1 – Ethics and Professional Standards (10–15%)
The most judgment-intensive ethics module across all three CFA levels. We work through longer, more layered case studies where reasoning and application matter far more than definitions. Strong ethics marks here often separate passing from failing candidates.
Module 2 – Asset Allocation (15–20%)
We cover strategic and tactical asset allocation, liability-relative approaches, mean-variance optimisation, and allocation frameworks built for different investor types and goals.
Module 3 – Portfolio Construction (15–20%)
This module covers factor investing, active and passive strategies, liability-driven investing, and how to build and manage a full portfolio across asset classes in the CFA program.
Module 4 – Performance Measurement (5–10%)
You will learn about attribution analysis, advanced GIPS standards, and performance evaluation frameworks that build on what you covered in CFA Level 1 coaching.
Module 5 – Derivatives and Risk Management (10–15%)
This module covers options strategies, hedging with futures and swaps, currency risk management, and how derivatives are used for portfolio-level risk control in the CFA Level 3 exam.
Module 6 – Chosen Your CFA Course Syllabus Pathway (30–35%)
Pick one of three:
- Pathway A – Portfolio Management: Institutional portfolio management, liability-driven investing, alternatives in portfolios, and algorithmic trading.
- Pathway B – Private Wealth: Goals-based planning, tax and estate planning, concentrated position management, and cross-border wealth planning for HNI clients.
- Pathway C – Private Markets: Private equity, venture capital, real estate, infrastructure, and private debt. Deal evaluation and portfolio construction in illiquid assets.
Practical Skills Module (PSM) – All CFA Levels
The CFA Institute requires one PSM per level before releasing your exam results. Options include Python Programming, Financial Modelling, Analyst Skills, and Data Science and AI. Each PSM must be unique across your three CFA levels. Amquest guides you through selection and completion alongside your exam preparation so it does not delay your results.
