  各門(mén)科目的復(fù)習(xí)建議
  Quantitative Methods:
  高頓財(cái)經(jīng)CFA研究中心張老師提醒大家,定量分析在一級(jí)里重要性不言而喻,在后續(xù)的科目學(xué)習(xí)里(Fixedincome、Economics、Equity、FSA、Derivatives)到處都能見(jiàn)到它的影子,這里要清楚CFA一級(jí)的考試定位Understandingthebasicconcepts.也就是說(shuō)這里我們只需要記憶一些基本的公式就可以,一些很復(fù)雜的公式和算法,我們其實(shí)根本就不需要的,比如年金的貼現(xiàn)公式,還有SKEW和Kurtosis的計(jì)算,二者的公式都比較復(fù)雜,但是考試題目只會(huì)問(wèn)我們他們的特性和用計(jì)算器進(jìn)行計(jì)算,不可能會(huì)讓我們?cè)诓莞寮埳涎菟愕?,這也是CFA考試和一些國(guó)內(nèi)較難的財(cái)經(jīng)考的區(qū)別,CFA考試其實(shí)考的是對(duì)概念的深度理解還有運(yùn)用,而不是機(jī)械的記憶,所以一級(jí)定量復(fù)習(xí)的重點(diǎn)我們要把握計(jì)算器的使用還有統(tǒng)計(jì)學(xué)和假設(shè)檢驗(yàn)的T、Z、F分布的圖形特點(diǎn)還有概率計(jì)算的深度含義,里面需要記憶的公式不超過(guò)10個(gè),在高頓網(wǎng)校的CFA題庫(kù)當(dāng)中,就有很多學(xué)生出錯(cuò)。在實(shí)際考試會(huì)用一些長(zhǎng)難句把簡(jiǎn)單的概念復(fù)雜化,隱藏起基本概念,這里在考試的時(shí)候同學(xué)們常常忽略。
  這里為大家介紹一個(gè)例子,比如遇到方差這個(gè)概念,公式其實(shí)很難,但是我們不需要記憶,我們首先要知道只要計(jì)算器上面按(2ND)DATA(這里輸入數(shù)據(jù))stat就可以了,然后第二我們要知道方差其實(shí)就是一個(gè)波動(dòng)率的概念,那就是一串?dāng)?shù)據(jù)圍繞中值的波動(dòng)幅度,那么這里又會(huì)自然的聯(lián)想到中心極限定理,也就是方差圍繞中值波動(dòng)多大幅度,預(yù)測(cè)值能落在這個(gè)區(qū)間的概率,那么這里又聯(lián)想到絕對(duì)差,還有半方差等概念還有各自含義。也就是說(shuō)道了復(fù)習(xí)后期,我們能從一個(gè)最基本概念的理解,理解計(jì)算器的算法還有聯(lián)想到和這個(gè)概念有關(guān)的其他的概念,并且我們能知道這個(gè)概念為什么能衍生出這些概念,那么考試我們就不難了。
  Economics:
  CFA一級(jí)的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)難點(diǎn)還是在于邏輯推理,雖然考試中會(huì)直接考察書(shū)里面的重要結(jié)論,而且有時(shí)候問(wèn)法還比較直接,但是這里大家千萬(wàn)不要進(jìn)入一個(gè)誤區(qū),那就是我背了結(jié)論就好了,因?yàn)槲覀兛荚嚨臅r(shí)候是考察CFA的10個(gè)科目,那么經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)作為里面的一個(gè)模塊,我們是否能記住里面的很多細(xì)節(jié)還有結(jié)論呢?這里顯然也是需要大家對(duì)一些基本的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)圖形推導(dǎo)進(jìn)行記憶和理解的。尤其是宏觀經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)的總供給還有總需求線,還有微觀經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)里面的成本收益法分析四類(lèi)市場(chǎng)和市場(chǎng)行為分析,這里的結(jié)論很多,但是大家如果能對(duì)基本的推到過(guò)程理解,那么結(jié)論自然我們自己可以得出。
  Financial Reporting Analysis:
  財(cái)務(wù)報(bào)表分析這里其實(shí)大家只要把握住一個(gè)基本的線路就可以了,首先就是理解每一項(xiàng)業(yè)務(wù)的基本處理方式,這里我們不需要記憶T賬戶的記錄法,而是只需要記憶一項(xiàng)會(huì)計(jì)業(yè)務(wù)對(duì)資產(chǎn)負(fù)債和利潤(rùn)表有個(gè)大體的影響就夠了,例如我新買(mǎi)一批存貨,我只要知道資產(chǎn)內(nèi)部同加減,以后發(fā)出去的時(shí)候利潤(rùn)表的COGS會(huì)增加,再次就是我們需要理解一項(xiàng)會(huì)計(jì)業(yè)務(wù)的處理在不同會(huì)計(jì)準(zhǔn)則下會(huì)對(duì)指標(biāo)產(chǎn)生怎么的影響,作為分析師,我們又要怎么去處理優(yōu)化這些影響,以上的步驟就是二級(jí)財(cái)務(wù)分析的具體思路了。還FRA在一級(jí)的復(fù)習(xí)里屬于難度*6的一門(mén)課,尤其是里面的incometaxandLease,這兩章比較困難,對(duì)于剛剛學(xué)習(xí)CFA的學(xué)員來(lái)說(shuō),看起來(lái)可能比較晦澀,這里大家在復(fù)習(xí)的時(shí)候要多注意理解,千萬(wàn)不要去記憶一些指標(biāo)的增減。
  Corporate Finance:
  公司理財(cái)在CFA一級(jí)里所占比重不大,一級(jí)的公司理財(cái)所需要理解和記憶的概念比較多,NPV和IRR決策系統(tǒng)我們同樣公式我們可以忽略,我們更需要理解的是NPVprofile,這個(gè)圖非常的重要,因?yàn)楫吘估锩嫔婕傲撕芏嘤嘘P(guān)概念還有知識(shí)點(diǎn),公司理財(cái)?shù)膹?fù)習(xí)策略是一定要和財(cái)務(wù)分析相結(jié)合,一級(jí)里的營(yíng)運(yùn)資本管理還有存貨管理,應(yīng)收賬款管理,復(fù)習(xí)到這里的時(shí)候,我們一定要結(jié)合財(cái)務(wù)(比率、每種資產(chǎn)的性質(zhì))進(jìn)行CFA題庫(kù)對(duì)自身掌握讀的檢驗(yàn)和鞏固,這樣才能有的放矢。
  Equity:
  CFA一級(jí)的權(quán)益類(lèi)資產(chǎn)評(píng)估難度不高,關(guān)鍵在于背誦一些概念,權(quán)益這章在一級(jí)復(fù)習(xí)里很簡(jiǎn)單,而且所占權(quán)重也不低,與經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)相比,背誦在這一章具有很高的本益比,背誦的重點(diǎn)在于證券市場(chǎng)基本知識(shí)、產(chǎn)業(yè)分析那兩個(gè)章節(jié),后面的模型分析,其實(shí)也是重在對(duì)公式的理解還有把握,計(jì)算題出得很簡(jiǎn)單,這里要說(shuō)明的是,一級(jí)的權(quán)益類(lèi)估值其實(shí)是二級(jí)的基礎(chǔ),里面很多都是一個(gè)粗略框架的介紹,所以這里很多公式是不需要大家背誦的。
