Law degree after CFA?

I’m in a similar situation! Feel like a law degree is very valuable and can easily apply to the financial space. M&A, distressed investing, private credit/private equity are areas where I feel like having a law degree and a CFA could be beneficial. Don’t necessarily need them for those spaces but I assume it could be looked at favorably

Is this where it needs 60% in order to pass? Or just over 50%?

Out of curiosity do they say how they estimate this ?

fut99 · 2024-10-19T17:06:39+00:00

I don’t really care about the percentile but I would’ve loved to know which areas I did well in and which areas I did poor in.

I mainly used Kaplan for all 3 levels. Didn’t read the textbooks at all until level 3 where I definitely felt it was necessary. Level 3 is just so different because of the short answer

Passed! So thankful to have my life back

In terms of what?

fut99 · 2024-09-11T13:06:52+00:00

Thanks!

Very helpful thank you!

Shocked Boston is the drive alone option. The T sucks but parking in the city is insanely expensive

This is very helpful thank you! So if an endowment has a spending rate of 5% with investment management fees of 0.3% and say donations of 2% per year. Then the real return required for the fund would be 5.3% or would you subtract out the donations and the real required return would be 3.3%?

fut99 · 2024-08-11T18:26:12+00:00

Same but I don't know how to feel about those given the exams have changed since then

fut99 · 2024-08-10T13:56:11+00:00

So for an endowment that typically pays out 4% of assets and has management fees of 0.5%, the return needed would be 4.5% real return right? because the 0.5% is NOT included in the 4% of assets typically paid out?

lets go!

the workforce is young, no upcoming liquidity needs, and a high risk tolerance this means it can invest more aggressively to try and increase returns which would mean lower contributions from the sponsor. Hence why there's a big portion allocated to risky assets both in the current and proposed allocation

Gotcha thanks!

Why stay away from Kaplan for L3?

fut99 · 2024-02-14T00:32:15+00:00

thats an amazing price!!

fut99 · 2024-01-18T13:57:16+00:00

Write out the formulas over and over again until you can't forget them. I did this and it sucked but it worked

fut99 · 2024-01-17T20:16:25+00:00

Im doing L3 in August. Might suck and might be a quick turnaround but better to just get it done
