1. Structure

The Level 3 exam consists of item set and constructed response (essay) questions.

The morning session features constructed response (essay) questions (between 8 and 12 questions, each with several subparts) with a maximum of 180 points. (The point value for each question is provided in the exam book.) The afternoon session covers 10 item sets with 6 multiple-choice questions in each.

Entry requirements

To register for your Level 3 exam, you need to have passed Level 2.

Syllabus

Below is a syllabus overview detailing each topic and their approximate exam weighting:

Level 3 topic Approximate exam weight
Ethical and Professional Standards 10% - 15%
Economics 5% - 10%
Equity Investments 10% - 15%
Fixed Income 15% - 20%
Derivatives 5% - 10%
Alternative Investments 5% - 10%
Portfolio Management and Wealth Planning 35% - 40%

 

At this final level, the ten key topics are combined, depending on their level of interrelationship, to form advanced knowledge areas, or study sessions. That’s why they differ from the form and structure of topic areas at Level 1 and 2. These knowledge areas are highlighted below:

Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct

Study the framework for ethical conduct in the investment profession so you understand and can apply it. You’ll also learn the recommended procedures designed to prevent violations of the Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct.

Ethical and Professional Standards in Practice

You’ll examine case studies to reflect on the practical application of the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct (Code and Standards) in real-life scenarios.

Behavioral Finance

Behavioral finance provides insight into how emotional biases and cognitive errors could influence individuals’ perceptions and investment decisions. Being aware of behavioral biases may help in understanding client goals, in constructing investment portfolios, and in identifying inconsistencies in investment decision making and market anomalies.

Private Wealth Management (1)

Identify the process of private wealth management and how to construct an investment policy statement (IPS) for the individual investor. This area also focuses on investment strategies applicable across a wide range of localities.

Private Wealth Management (2)

This session examines the considerations and risks associated with concentrated single asset positions. You’ll be presented with strategies for managing concentrated positions in publicly traded common shares, privately held businesses, and real estate.

Portfolio Management for Institutional Investors

You’ll be given a framework for understanding institutional portfolio management. Concepts and practices important in determining the investment policy statement (IPS) are presented for different types of institutional investors.

Applications of Economic Analysis to Portfolio Management

Study the process of setting capital market expectations and explore major tools of economic analysis. You’ll be introduced to the application of neoclassical growth theory to develop economic forecasts and think about how economic forecasts can be integrated with equity valuation techniques to value an equity market.

Asset Allocation and Related Decisions in Portfolio Management (1)

This session introduces you to asset allocation and provides a conceptual framework for understanding asset allocation considerations and key implementation approaches.

Asset Allocation and Related Decisions in Portfolio Management (2)

The asset allocation decision is affected by multiple constraints that present practical challenges to asset allocation. This session examines the effects of these constraints and presents adaptations to address them by institutional investor type. It also looks at how to assess performance using market indexes.

Fixed-Income Portfolio Management (1)

This session explains the role played by fixed-income securities in portfolios and focuses on the two primary types of fixed-income mandates (liability-based and total return). It covers approaches, risks, and challenges associated with both immunization of single and multiple liabilities and the indexation and laddering of a fixed-income portfolio.

Fixed-Income Portfolio Management (2)

Building on the what you’ve learned on the previous level, you’ll examine yield curve and credit strategies for fixed-income portfolios. Portfolio management strategies, which are based on the investor’s expectations regarding the level, slope, and curvature of the yield curve, are demonstrated.

Equity Portfolio Management

You’ll focus on the role of equities in an investment portfolio, three major approaches (passive, active, and semi-active) used to manage equity portfolios, and the evaluation of equity managers.

Alternative Investments for Portfolio Management

You’ll learn the characteristics of alternative investments and discuss concerns related to specific types of alternative investments.

Risk Management

You’ll examine framework for risk management, focusing on the concepts and tools for measuring and managing market risk and credit risk.

Risk Management Applications of Derivatives

Supporting your outcomes of the previous session, you’ll learn risk management strategies using forwards and futures, option strategies, floors and caps, and swaps.

Trading, Monitoring, and Rebalancing

You’ll learn how managers and traders interact with markets, choose appropriate trading strategies and tactics, and measure success, and also discuss the ongoing monitoring and rebalancing of the investment portfolio.

Performance Evaluation

You’ll learn how to evaluate the portfolio management process through performance measurement, performance attribution, and performance appraisal.

Global Investment Performance Standards

The final session provides a grounding in the requirements and recommendations of Global Investment Performance Standards.

3. Exams, sittings and resits

Exams

Exams are offered annually in June. Please be aware, it's your responsibility to register with the CFA Institute® for exam entry with the cost of the exam depending on the date of registration. There is also a one-time program enrollment fee when you register for the CFA Level I exam for the first time.

Exam results are available within 90 days of the exam date. All candidates receive a “pass” or “did not pass” result as well as details as to performance per topic.

You’ll need to pass Level 2 of the CFA Program before registering for Level 3. There is no limit to the number of times you can take each exam, and you can take as much time as you need to complete the program.

How long does it take to pass?

The examining body recommends around 300 hours of study for each level in the CFA charter, although some candidates will need more or less time, depending on their individual backgrounds and experience.

It is possible to complete the CFA Program in two years but with a recommended study time of 300 hours per level, it takes most people three to four years to complete the three three levels.

What are pass rates like?

Passing Level 3 takes dedication and commitment. Of those who took the exam between 2009 - 2018, the average pass rate as reported by the CFA Institute was 52%.

Can Kaplan help if I fail an exam?

We do all we can to help you to pass the exam. However, if you don't pass first time then don't worry. There are a lots of ways we can support you. What you will be entitled to will depend on the last study package you purchased with us.
