2022年CFA L1 考纲变动分析
2022 年所有CFA一级科目的权重未发生变化,但是整体顺序出现大量调整,数量科目由原本的第二个科目变为第一个,道德科目变为最后一个章节。本次调整是协会时隔两年来第一次调整,考纲变动涉及到科目较多,其中数量、公金、另类、组合科目都出现了重大变动,其余科目也都存在新增细节考点或者考点表述变动。
一.数量
考纲变化:
数量科目权重未变 8-12%,但被移动到第一个部分,替代道德的位置。总体来说,本科目是新考纲中变动较大的科目,主要体现在协会更加注重知识的实用性, 与当前金融行业的发展非常契合。新增两个章节分别为, Organizing, Visualizing, And Describing Data 以及 Introduction To Linear Regression, 同时删除 Statistical Concepts and Market Returns,其余每一个 reading 都有少量的增减。
变化分析:
第一个新增的“Organizing, Visualizing, and Describing Data”其实是原本“Statistical Concepts and Market Returns”的进阶版本。在新增的这个章节中,除了保留对数据描述性的分析介绍之外,更加注重对数据进行系统性的分类、整理和可视化分析,介绍了在实务中常用的一些数据分析手段和方法论,比如热力图、树状图、云图、气泡线图等。
另一个新增的章节“Introduction to Linear Regression”原本是二级数量中的一个章节,这个章节主要讲的是线性回归的基本逻辑和原理,是为二级数量中多元回归打基础的一个章节。另外,线性回归是金融数据分析中常用的一个量化分析模型,更加偏重应用,突出了协会对量化建模的重视。
具体变动内容:

九、组合
考纲变动:

具体变化内容:
一级组合科目新增 reading:The Behavioral Biases of Individuals。本 科 目 修 改 reading : Basics of Portfolio Planning and Construction,Technical Analysis。
十、道德
考纲变动解读:
首先,根据 2022 年的新考纲,道德权重未变,在十门科目中,但是从原先的第一个 study session 变成了最后一个 study session。因此导致所有科目 Reading 号的顺序均发生变更。
具体变化内容:
道德一级在最后新增了一个 Ethics Application reading(R60),这是原来二级和三级中的内容,需要运用 7 大条准则对案例进行分析和判断。同 时 删 除 了 原 本 的Reading 5Global InvestmentPerformance Standards (GIPS) 整个 reading , 部分内容并入原本的 Reading 4 Introduction to the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS) 中。这种变化, 或许也意味着道德的情景使用能力,会从一级考试中就开始强调。
CFA协会更加重视考生对于 7 大条准则的理解和实践,在一级中就已经放入了案例分析相关的内容, 一二三级的衔接性变得更强了。同时,也强调了道德这门课区别于其他科目的特点,考生对伦理道德的准则不应该死记硬背,这门课的知识点需要通过理解去记忆。同时,考纲修改之后,对 GIPS 全球投资业绩标准的内容结构安排上也变得更为合理。
