Exam Preparation Resources

CFA Preparation

Our society supports the efforts of local CFA candidates by sponsoring a variety of CFA exam preparation and review opportunities.  Experienced and respected academicians and investment practitioners coach candidates on CFA curriculum topics, such as securities analysis and investment valuation, financial accounting, quantitative analysis, economics, asset allocation, and portfolio management. Participation in an organized program can complement the self-study design of the CFA Program.
