Note:
·         Study Notes refer to complete Study guides that can act as an alternative to the CFA Text not additional material like graphs, charts, summaries etc.
·         Providers with complete study material, for whole curriculum, are included in the comparison e.g. Elan Guides they are offering some material for Level II but it is not complete.

  1. The purpose of this post is to create a comparison between different material providers about what they are offering for different Levels. I have made this based upon my knowledge. If you think there is any thing missing or other important aspects which must be a part of this comparison please paste it either as a comment or email me at mohammad.belaal@gmail.com. This comparison can be used by prospective students to reach to their desired material provider without wasting any time on figuring out what is provided by whom!

  2. Thanks for this comparison, I think it's quite accurate. What I truly miss though are low cost alternatives to the big ones, especially to actually learn the material. I took a stab at creating my own here: http://www.financialanalystexam.com. I hope it helps candidates prepare more effectively without breaking the bank ;)
