About this book
Master the core of CFA Level 2 with this focused guide to Portfolio Management and Ethics.
This guide is your essential tool for success. It covers everything you need for these two crucial subjects. We start with Portfolio Management. You will explore the deep connections between economics and investment markets. We dive into the detailed analysis of active portfolio management. You'll learn the mechanics and practical applications of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). The book clearly explains how to use powerful multifactor models in your analysis. A dedicated section teaches you how to measure and manage market risk. You'll also master the techniques of backtesting and simulation to validate your models. After building your portfolio skills, we shift to Ethical and Professional Standards. This section is fundamental to the exam and your career. It thoroughly covers the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct. We provide detailed guidance for Standards I–VII. To bring it all together, the final chapter focuses on the application of the Code and Standards using specific Level II case studies.
What makes this book different? We know your study time is precious. Other textbooks are often dense and overwhelming, burying key concepts in academic jargon. We cut through the noise. Our book is designed for efficient, effective learning, focusing only on what you need to know to pass. Complex ideas are broken down into simple, digestible steps. We use practical examples and real-world applications to make the material stick. Instead of just giving you formulas, we show you how and why they work in today's investment markets. This isn't just another textbook; it's a strategic study partner built to give you the confidence and competence to excel on exam day.
