超详细版CFA二级考经今年6月的CFA二级成绩刚出来,我5A3B2C顺利通过。
这个成绩比那些大牛们还相差甚远,但我也不认为这是个低空飘过的分数。
两个C分别是Quantitative和FixedIncome,都是权重最小的(今年的FixedIncome破天荒只出了一个itemset),5个A里面却包括了Equity和FSA这样权重很大的科目。
根据权重来安排复习计划很重要,我考一级的时候就是这个战略,最后是以6A4B的成绩通过的,6个A里面依然包括着Equity、FSA和Ethics这些大权重topic。
但无论怎么复习终归还是有些点复习不到或者考试时候忘记,这是难以避免的,既然70%就可以通过,另外30%就要合理挥霍一下嘛。
为了攒人品和为后来者提供一些建议,我把我复习每一个topic的经验分享一下。
首先介绍一下我的学术背景:美国综合排名60位左右的大学经济学本科毕业(辅修数学和金融),现在在综合排名40左右的大学读金融研究生。
鉴于我开始读研究生的时候已经考完二级了,所以研究生的背景对于这次考试的通过可以忽略不计。
我在大学的时候修过几门金融的课程,但是真正把所有知识体系梳理清楚和对金融有清晰认识是复习CFA一级的时候。
一级虽然难度不高,但是知识点体系庞大,通过一级可以为以后的金融学习奠定一个很好的基础。
我正式开始复习二级是三月初,时间比较充裕,但如果你上班上课很紧张的话我建议从年初就要开始准备了。
Ethical &Professional StandardsEthics的面孔在所有topic里面既熟悉又陌生。
熟悉在那一条条一级就已经考过的道德准则,陌生在做练习题的时候照样一题题地做错。
Ethics比一级多加了一个Softdollar standard和Research objectivity standard, 看似仅仅是对道德准则中两条小准则的延伸,字面的表达也很好理解,但是无奈做题就是做不对。
CFA二级备考知识点CFA是能力证书,备考过程其实就是知识积累、能力培养的过程,变专业知识为个人的实际能力,才是投资CFA 考试的最高收益,而不能仅为一纸证书。
1、端正复习心态备战任何一项考试,首先必须端正复习心态。
对打算参加二级考试者来说,考试费用较高,牵涉精力较大,更需要考虑清楚。
CFA是能力证书,备考过程其实就是知识积累、能力培养的过程,变专业知识为个人的实际能力,才是投资CFA考试的最高收益,而不能仅为一纸证书。
2、制定复习策略复习策略决定着考生备考的方向和实际效果,特别是CFA二级这样的高难度考试,考生在复习时必须做到心中有数,而不能摸石头过河。
以下三点对考生备考CFA二级非常关键:①在理解基础上记忆相对于一级考试,二级考试更偏重于对基础知识的应用,因此,考生不能死记硬背,而应注重对阅读资料的理解,在理解的基础上进行记忆。
②把握新增的知识点二级考试是一级考试的延伸,很多复习资料在一级考试中已经涉及,在时间有限的情况下,考生应将更多的精力放在新增的知识点上面,进行重点突破。
③适当参加专业培训专业教师的指导有助于考生更好地理解知识、分析重点,增强复习的针对性。
3、抓住关键知识点CFA一级考试重点是金融基本概念和公式,而二级考试重点是资产定价理论的运用和投资组合管理(和往年注重会计理论有所不同),考生在备考中要注意关键知识点的变化。
此外,二级考试对会计科目的要求进一步提高,在一级基础会计的基础上,新增了公司并购会计、投资会计、外币会计和养老金会计等专题,还要求考生能辨识财务报表中的“会计骗术”。
4、安排有效训练答题速度仍然是通过CFA二级考试的关键,因此,考生在复习中,不仅要掌握知识原理,还要进行适当和有效的题目训练。
训练的目的除了巩固学习成果,还要提高做题速度。
在最后的冲刺阶段,一定要进行一到两次的模考,以便找到薄弱环节,及时弥补不足。
5、适当选用参考材料CFA二级有多本厚厚的教材,阅读量非常大,因此,考生常有这样的疑问:这些参考书要不要通读?还是只需读专业机构出版的辅导讲义(Study Notes)?一般来说,应以官方教材为本,以Study Notes为纲,即简单的内容直接看Notes,重点和难点的内容则应读原版的教材,此外,还要根据自己的复习进度选择一些习题集。
CFA二级所得税的学习笔记分享CFA二级所得税的学习笔记分享1、Income tax expense = Taxes payable +Deferred income tax expense, 这右边第二项正的就是deferred taxliability,负的就是deferred tax asset。
这个公式简单理解成所得税费用就包括实际交税(cashitem)和应该补交或可以抵扣的那部分税(non-cash item)。
这也表明,deferred taxasset/liability这两个科目的产生都是以difference will reverse in future years为前提的。
2、Deferredtax liability之所以产生,是因为今年实际交税少了,以后还是要补的,所以可简单理解成负债。
也就是说taxes payable< income tax expense, ie. Taxable income < pretax income. Deferredtax asset相反的产生过程,无需多讲。
但它有valuation allowance,也是一个备抵项目,但需要记住的是valuationallowance applies exclusively to deferred taxasset。
也是,出于谨慎性原则,对于资产才要备抵一下,负债从来不算这个的。
另外,涉及到备抵账户的,往往是管理层操纵业绩的一种手段,这种职业敏感性是要不断加强的。
比如allowance就会增加tax expense, 那相应净利润就会减少。
3、Deferred tax liability/asset的计算:列出两张表,分别based on tax return和financial reporting,然后两相比较,很容易得出。
4、Liabilitymethod和Deferred method的最大区别:the treatment of changes in tax rates. Thedeferred method is unaffected by changes in tax rates while theliability method adjusts deferred assets and liabilities to reflect thenew tax rates.5、Change in tax rates: 在Liabilitymethod方法之下,税率变动,账面上的deferredasset/ability也要revalue来反映今后它们reverse的当前价值。
统计学Reading 11 相关和回归Reading 12 多元线性回归1. 相关分析:1) 协方差和相关系数的计算;2) 相关系数的检验(ρ = 0): t = r ((n - 2) / (1 – r2))1/2, df = n – 2.2. 线性回归:1) 模型及假设, dependent variable (Y) and independent variable (X).2) 参数估计(min SSE): b i = Cov(X i, Y) / Var(X i), b0 = E(Y) –Σb i * E(X i).3) 回归系数的置信区间和统计检验: t = (b i–βi) / s bi, df = n – k – 1.注:k为independent variable的数目, 不要求计算标准误s bi.3. 线性模型的显著性检验:1) Total sum of squares (SST) = Σ(Y – E(Y))2, Y –观测值;Regression sum of square (RSS) = Σ(y – E(Y))2, y –拟合值;Sum of squared error (SSE) = Σ(Y - y)2;SST = RSS + SSE.2) 方差分析表(ANOV A):Source of variation Sum of squares Degree of freedom Mean sum of square Regression RSS k (# independent variable) MSR = RSS / k Error SSE n – k – 1 MSE = SSE / (n – k -1) Total SST n – 1 Var(Y) = SST / (n - 1)Standard error of estimate SEE = (MSE)1/2.3) Determination coefficient R2 = RSS / SST,Adjusted R2 = 1 – (n - 1)/(n – k - 1) * (1 – R2): adjust the impact of additional variables.4) F-检验:F = MSR / MSE, df = (k, n – k - 1).4. 模型前提假设的检验:1) Heteroskedasticity:A) Effect :Unconditional: heteroskedasticity is unrelated to the level of X, no major problem;Conditional: coefficient estimates are not affected, but s.e. and F-test are unreliable.B) Detecting:a) Residual plot: residual = actual – predicted.b) Breusch-pagan test (H0: no heteroskedasticity):n * R resid2 ~ χ2(k), 其中R resid2是residual对X回归的决定系数.C) Correcting: using robust or corrected s.e.2) Serial correlation: residual terms are correlated with each other:A) Effect:Positive serial correlation: underestimating s.e., unreliable F-test;Negative serial correlation: overestimating s.e., unreliable F-test.B) Detecting:a) Residual plot.b) Durbin-Watson test (H0: no serial correlation):DW ≈ 2(1 - r), 其中r是残差的自相关系数, 0 ≤ DW ≤ 4.C) Correcting: corrected s.e. for both serial correlation and heteroskedasticity.3) Multicollinearity: independent variables are highly correlated with each other:A) Effect: individual variables are not significant (large s.e.) but their combination is.B) Detecting:a) None of individual coefficient is significant, but F-test is.b) Correlations between variables (> 0.7).注:两变量间的相关系数并未考虑变量线性组合的相关性,因此低相关系数并不一定意味着不存在multicollinearity.C) Correcting: omit correlated variables or take stepwise regression.4) Model misspecification: 不合适地选取解释变量(实际意义不对或不满足线性模型的前提假设)或不恰当的变量转换等.5. Dummy variable (0 – 1 variable):1) Independent dummy variable: linear regression is appropriate.注:n classes → (n - 1) dummy variable.2) Qualitative dependent variable (Y取0, 1): ordinary regression may not be appropriate, use logit regression model or discriminate model.Reading 13 时间序列分析1.

READING 11: 经济增长和投资决策EXAM FOCUS经济增长率预测对投资决策有重要影响。
了解经济增长的先决条件,如何提高增长率,以及是什么推动了经济增长。
能够比较和对比竞争理论的增长。
最后,能够使用增长会计等式来预测一个经济体的潜在增长率。
MODULE 11.1: 增长因素和增长函数LOS 11.a: 比较有利于和限制发达国家和发展中国家经济增长的因素经济学家用国内生产总值(GDP)来衡量一个国家的经济产出。
然而,一个国家的生活水平最好用人均GDP来衡量。
投资者特别关注的不仅是经济产出水平,还有产出增长率。
从历史上看,各国国内生产总值增长率和人均国内生产总值有很大的差异。
研究已经确定了几个影响GDP增长和GDP水平的因素。
增长的因素1.储蓄和投资与经济发展呈正相关。
为了国家的增长,私人和公共部门的投资必须为每个工人提供足够的资本水平。
如果一个国家国内储蓄不足,它必须吸引外国投资才能增长。
2.金融市场和中介机构通过多种方式有效配置资源来促进经济增长。
首先,金融市场决定哪些潜在的资本使用者在风险调整的基础上提供了最好的回报。
其次,金融工具是由为投资者提供流动性和降低风险机会的中介机构创造的。
最后,通过汇集投资者的少量储蓄,中介机构可以为项目提供比其他方式更大规模的融资。
不过,还是要谨慎一些。
金融部门的中介可能会导致信贷标准下降和/或杠杆率上升,从而增加风险,但不会导致经济增长。
3.一个国家的政治稳定、法治和产权环境也会影响经济增长。
没有建立实物产权和知识产权产权制度的国家将难以吸引资本。
同样,战争、腐败和其他破坏造成的经济不确定性对许多投资者构成了无法接受的风险,降低了潜在的经济增长。
4.对人力资本的投资,对工人技能和福利的投资,被认为是对物质资本增长的补充。
因此,投资于教育和卫生保健系统的国家往往有更高的增长率。
发达国家受益最大的是高等教育支出,这已被证明能促进创新。
欠发达国家受益最大的是初级和中级教育的支出,这使得劳动力能够应用在其他地方开发的技术。

cfa二级数量知识点-回复CFA二级数量知识点CFA(Chartered Financial Analyst)二级考试是国际上公认的金融行业从业者的专业资格认证考试之一,该考试从基础的知识点到专业的实践应用都有涉及。
本文将以CFA二级考试中数量知识点为主题,深入分析并逐步回答与数量相关的问题,帮助考生更好地理解和掌握这部分知识。
首先,我们来看一下CFA二级考试中涉及的数量知识点有哪些。
CFA二级考试中与数量相关的内容主要包括:概率论,假设检验,逻辑回归和时间序列分析。
这些内容是金融行业从业者必备的基础知识,对于投资决策和风险管理至关重要。
一、概率论概率论是研究随机事件发生的规律性的数学理论。
在金融行业,我们经常需要对风险进行估计和控制,概率论为我们提供了工具和方法。
在CFA二级考试中,常见的概率论知识点包括:随机变量和概率分布、期望和方差、联合分布和条件分布、中心极限定理等。
对于概率论的学习,我们可以从以下几个方面展开。
1.了解基本概念和常见分布:首先,我们需要掌握概率论的基本概念,例如样本空间、事件、随机变量等。
然后,需要熟悉一些重要的概率分布,例如:正态分布、二项分布、泊松分布等。
这些分布在金融领域的应用非常广泛,掌握它们的特性和应用场景是非常重要的。
2.计算期望和方差:期望和方差是描述随机变量分布特征的重要指标。
在金融行业,我们经常需要对资产的预期收益和风险进行估计。
在CFA二级考试中,常常会涉及期望和方差的计算和应用,因此我们需要学会如何计算和应用期望和方差。
3.了解联合分布和条件分布:在金融领域,我们经常需要研究两个或多个变量之间的关系。
联合分布和条件分布为我们提供了研究随机变量之间关系的工具和方法。
在CFA 二级考试中,我们需要掌握联合分布和条件分布的概念、计算和应用。
4.了解中心极限定理:中心极限定理是概率论中一个非常重要的定理。
它指出,大量独立同分布的随机变量的和或平均值的分布会趋近于正态分布。

2017年CFA二级考试知识点梳理2017年6月CFA考试就快到了,你做好准备了吗?尤其是准备考CFA二级的考生是不是更加紧张了,毕竟虽说CFA二级的考试Topics跟一级一样,但是客观的说二级的难度是一级的2倍,这也是很多人Fail的第一个坎儿。
今天浦江财经就把CFA二级考试知识点梳理一遍。
在临近考试前半个月到一个月左右的时间里浦江财经建议把CFA协会官网上的科目练习题,官方教材的科目练习题以及近五年左右的mock都做一遍,心理上要有看到题目往上扑的冲动,保持求战欲!总体的复习思路是“不做新题,注重错题”。
研究错题的价值要超过mock的正确率,如果你做错的题在考试中还是做错,就是悲剧,考生可以按照每个session整理错题,CFA考试可以说是没有明确范围的,任何你认为细小的点都可能成为考题,甚至是答题。
不能认为反正是小概念,真题中不会出现。
要知道这题目为什么错。
3小时做一套题目,每个session或每个case旁边记下每部分的用时,做到心中有数,考场上才能合理规划时间。
练习essay question时,一定要完整书写考试过程,模拟三小时的紧张度。
你不是证监会,所有走势波动都能在心里默默完成。
最后关头,不要偷懒,否则考场上一定给你颜色看。
CFA一级、二级不会特别紧张,每场考试一般都能留下20-40分钟不等的时间。
三级上午考试的时间管理特别重要,原则上是1分钟得1分。
一定要追求性价比,不会的先扔掉,最后回过来补。
上午题做在50-60%之间,下午题追求60-70%以上就能过了。
许多考生把上午题涂满作为对的起自己的标准,可见时间非常紧张。
实际上,如果通过严格的训练,中国考生可以做到提前半小时做完。
当然了,做题也不是盲目的,还要梳理好二级知识点,然后对应做题。
CFA二级考试中财务是难点,麻烦的是估值,股票、债券、衍生工具等,繁琐又重要。
对于这些难点就应该花费更多的时间,多看几遍notes,多做题。
浦江财经介绍几个合适的CFA复习方法:1、熟悉CFA知识点第一周过一遍notes,从比重较大的equity investments和financial reporting analysis开始看起,然后逐步看至比重小的模块(比重太小的可以选择放弃不看,但不推荐)。
统计学Reading 11 相关和回归Reading 12 多元线性回归1. 相关分析:1) 协方差和相关系数的计算;2) 相关系数的检验(ρ = 0): t = r ((n - 2) / (1 – r2))1/2, df = n – 2.2. 线性回归:1) 模型及假设, dependent variable (Y) and independent variable (X).2) 参数估计(min SSE): b i = Cov(X i, Y) / Var(X i), b0 = E(Y) –Σb i * E(X i).3) 回归系数的置信区间和统计检验: t = (b i–βi) / s bi, df = n – k – 1.注:k为independent variable的数目, 不要求计算标准误s bi.3. 线性模型的显著性检验:1) Total sum of squares (SST) = Σ(Y – E(Y))2, Y –观测值;Regression sum of square (RSS) = Σ(y – E(Y))2, y –拟合值;Sum of squared error (SSE) = Σ(Y - y)2;SST = RSS + SSE.3) Determination coefficient R2 = RSS / SST,Adjusted R2 = 1 – (n - 1)/(n – k - 1) * (1 – R2): adjust the impact of additional variables.4) F-检验:F = MSR / MSE, df = (k, n – k - 1).4. 模型前提假设的检验:1) Heteroskedasticity:A) Effect :Unconditional: heteroskedasticity is unrelated to the level of X, no major problem;Conditional: coefficient estimates are not affected, but s.e. and F-test are unreliable.B) Detecting:a) Residual plot: residual = actual – predicted.b) Breusch-pagan test (H0: no heteroskedasticity):n * R resid2 ~ χ2(k), 其中R resid2是residual对X回归的决定系数.C) Correcting: using robust or corrected s.e.2) Serial correlation: residual terms are correlated with each other:A) Effect:Positive serial correlation: underestimating s.e., unreliable F-test;Negative serial correlation: overestimating s.e., unreliable F-test.B) Detecting:a) Residual plot.b) Durbin-Watson test (H0: no serial correlation):DW ≈ 2(1 - r), 其中r是残差的自相关系数, 0 ≤ DW ≤ 4.C) Correcting: corrected s.e. for both serial correlation and heteroskedasticity.3) Multicollinearity: independent variables are highly correlated with each other:A) Effect: individual variables are not significant (large s.e.) but their combination is.B) Detecting:a) None of individual coefficient is significant, but F-test is.b) Correlations between variables (> 0.7).注:两变量间的相关系数并未考虑变量线性组合的相关性,因此低相关系数并不一定意味着不存在multicollinearity.C) Correcting: omit correlated variables or take stepwise regression.4) Model misspecification: 不合适地选取解释变量(实际意义不对或不满足线性模型的前提假设)或不恰当的变量转换等.5. Dummy variable (0 – 1 variable):1) Independent dummy variable: linear regression is appropriate.注:n classes → (n - 1) dummy variable.2) Qualitative dependent variable (Y取0, 1): ordinary regression may not be appropriate, use logit regression model or discriminate model.Reading 13 时间序列分析1. Trend model:1) Linear: x t = b0 + b1t + εt;2) Log-linear: ln(x t) = b0 + b1t + εt, 常用于为增长率建模.2. Autoregressive model (AR):1) AR(p): x t = b0 + b1x t-1 + … + b p x t-p + εp, lag: 1, … , p.2) Covariance stationarity:a) Constant and finite E(X t): mean-reverting level for AR(1) E(X t) = b0 / (1 – b1).Random walks (unit root process): x t = b0 + x t-1 + εt不是平稳过程.b) Constant and finite Var(X t);c) Constant and finite Cov(X t, X t-k):对AR平稳序列, 自相关系数Cor(X t, X t-k) = ρk→ 0.3) Forecasting:a) In-sample (within the range of data) and out-sample forecasts.b) Short time series: more stable (no dramatic change);Long-time series: more reliable.c) Predicting power: root mean squared error (RMSE) on the out-sample data.3. AR模型的检验与修正:1) Nonstationarity:a) Detecting: Dickey-Fuller (DF) test or unit root test:For AR(1): x t– x t-1 = b0 + (b1 - 1)x t-1 + εt, H0: b1 = 1, t-test with modified s.e.b) Correcting - differencing:For random walks: 令y t = x t– x t-1, 有y t = b0 + εt.2) Serial correlation (residual terms should not exhibit serial correlation):a) Detecting:H0: Cor(εt, εt-k) = 0 for any lag k; t = Cor(εt, εt-k) / (1 / T) 1/2, df = T – p - 1.注: T – number of effective observations, T = n – p.一般线性回归中的DW检验不适用于AR模型。
b) Correcting: increase the order p until all serial correlations are removed.3) Seasonality:a) Detecting: seasonal lag k: Cor(εt, εt-(k-1)) = 0, but Cor(εt, εt-k) ≠ 0 (同上述t检验).b) Correcting: include a seasonal lag term: x t = AR(p) + b k x t-k.4) Conditional heteroskedasticity:a) Autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity model (ARCH):εt2 = a0 + a1 * εt-12 + ηtb) Detecting: H0: a1 = 0.4. Multivariate time series model (Y t ~ X t):1) Premise for regression model:a) Y t and X t are both stationary;b) Y t and X t are both non-stationary but cointegrated.2) Cointegration test:y t = b0 + b1x t + εt, εt is tested for a unit root using DF test.经济学Reading 14 经济增长Reading 20 经济衡量1. Measuring economic activity:1) Measures of economic activity:GNI (国民总收入) = GDP + net property income from abroad;NNI (国民净收入) = GNI – depreciation.2) GDP at current price = GDP at constant price * (1 + GDP deflator).注:GDP平减指数既包含物价变动,也包含GDP组分的变动2. Measuring economic growth:1) Growth rate in real GDP;2) Rule of 70: Approximate years for real GDP to double = 70 / growth rate (percentage).3. Sources of economic growth:1) Preconditions: incentive system – markets, property rights and monetary exchange.2) Key factors driving economic growth:a) Labor: investment in human capital;b) Capital: saving and investment in new capital;c) Entrepreneurial ability: discovery of new technologies.3) Productivity curve: labor productivity (real GDP per labor hour) ~ capital per labor houra) Growth in capital per labor hour – movement along curve, law of diminishing returns;b) Growth in technology – curve shift upwards.c) One-third rule:Labor productivity growth results from capital growth = 1/3 * growth in capital per labor hour;Labor productivity growth results from technology growth = labor productivity growth - labor productivity growth results from capital growth.4. Growth theory:1) Classical growth theory (constant subsistence level): labor productivity rises above the subsistence level → subsistence real wages rise above the minimum required → population explosion → labor productivity is driven back to the subsistence level.2) Neoclassical growth theory (constant target real rate of return = Δreal GDP per labor hour / Δcapital per labor hour): labor productivity rises due to lucky technology changes →increase in real rate of return → more investment and savings, but law of diminishing return holds → real rate of return is driven back to the target rate.注:Population growth is independent of economic growth in the neoclassical model. The technology (and productivity) may stop growing when the real interest rate is equal to the target rate of return.3) New growth theory (continuous economic growth): innovation → higher return →competition → lower return → incentive for innovation.注:Knowledge capital is public goods and it is not subject to the law of diminishing return due to the incentive for innovation.Reading 15 产业政策1. Industry regulation:1) Social regulation: for all industries, such as product quality and safety.2) Economic regulation: pricing policy for the firms within a industry:a) Cost-of-service regulation: set the maximum price;b) Rate-of-return regulation: set the maximum rate of return.2. Effects of regulation:1) Negative effects: higher costs of product response to regulation;Deregulation has negative effects in the short run, but the long-run benefits include lower cost and better products.2) Regulators’ behavior:a) Capture hypothesis: regulators will be captured by the industry that is regulated.b) Share-the-gains, share-the-pains theory: regulators will strive to all three interested parties including legislators, customers and regulated industries.Reading 16 世界贸易1. Comparative advantage:1) Concept: the lowest opportunity cost of a product. For two goods A and B, if one country has comparative advantage in A, the other must have comparative advantage in B.2) Law of comparative advantage: total production and consumption will increase if trade partners export goods with comparative advantage and import goods without advantage.2. Trade restrictions:1) Reasons for trade restrictions:a) Desire by government for tariff revenue.b) Domestic industries to gain protection (infant industry argument, anti-dumping argument).c) Other arguments not supported by economic theory in the long run: protect jobs and high wage levels.2) Trade barriers:a) Tariffs (关税): benefit protected industry and government.b) Quotas: benefit protected industry and import license holders.c) Voluntary export restraints (exporting countries voluntarily limit the quality of goods for exporting): benefit protected industries and export license holders.3. Balance-of-payments (BOP) accounts (国际收支账户) (Reading 17):1) Accounting equation: current account + capital account + official reserve account = 0.2) Current account = export – import: exchange of goods and services.3) Capital account = investment in – investment out, including equity and debt;Borrowing (capital account > 0) to finance a current account deficit.4) Official reserve account:If current account + capital account > 0 (收支盈余), official reserve account < 0 (而外汇储备增加).Reading 18 汇率1. Exchange rate:1) Quotation, currency appreciation and depreciation:a) Direct quotes: DC/FC, or FC:DC (注意后者不表示相比);b) Indirect quotes: FC/DC, or DC:FC.注:一般汇率S均指直接标价,S↑外币升值(本币贬值)。
