2016cfa一级notes阅读技巧分享

2016cfa一级notes阅读技巧分享：备考CFA，NOTES就会成为你的陪伴。高顿网校小编建议一些看notes的方法，针对CFA学习没有什么基础可以从Economics经济学入门，其他可以按照notes的顺序阅读，道德Ethical and Professional Standards 放在最后阅读，因为Ethical and Professional Standards 主要是记忆。
 1、从 Equity入手，这部分容易一些，而且应该算是最不枯燥的一个，再没有底子总听说过股票，结合高顿网校的CFA网课一起从这里入手可以兴趣会高一些，然后Fixed Income,Alternative Investment,最后Portfolio Management。
 2、Financail Statement Analysis,建议直接用官方教材，讲得比较系统而且不枯燥，知识点比较多，教材在一级不用掌握很深的知识点上篇幅掌握很好，用note 会疑问较多，因为会计知识相当深，很多一级考试不必要掌握。但是这一部分是一级考试重中之重。除了看书以外一定要配合做高顿网校CFA题库。晚了看Corporate Finance,问题不大,其中Corporate Governance(公司治理部分)是一个独立的知识点，建议加强中文知识背景学习。
 3、Economics 没有经济学基础要补充中文知识背景，这一块教材讲得不经典，市场有很多经济学原理的教材，初级点的高鸿业、梁小平的，中级点曼昆、萨缪尔森的经济学原理。
 4、Ethics只有靠死记，Quantitive部分学习一级不是很深。
