The CFA® Experience - Blog

My journey to CFA® started in February 2011. I passed CFA® Level I in June 2011 in first attempt. The episodes on the blog unfold my experience of my journey towards the Level II exam. A part from posting quick summaries of the topics I share interesting articles which relate to the the topics covered in the CFA® curriculum, successful CFA® charter holders profiles - Motivation Pick, and several short videos about the program. Here goes the link http://www.thecfaexperience.com
