Description

Economics is the parent of finance and investing, and as such it’s a major section of the CFA exam. In this course, we’ll cover a variety of areas you need to know as you prepare for the exam. Market structure questions are typically included on the CFA exam, so we’ll go through the different types of structures. We’ll also cover the economic calculations that are a key part of the economics section of the CFA exam, as well as business cycles which have a major impact on the success or failure of investments. Another area we will cover is government policy as it relates to the economy and the business cycle. Moreover, since international trade is playing an increasingly important role in the stock market, we will go through that as well and we’ll talk about the related FX markets, which are a key investment area and a major part of the CFA exam. Finally, since to pass the CFA exam, you need to have good test taking strategies, we will give you some points to consider when the exam time comes.
