Refresher Readings

Refresher Readings
CFA Institute Refresher Readings are offered as an exclusive, free member benefit to CFA Institute members. (Member login is required to open individual readings.)
CFA Institute Refresher Readings are derived from CFA Program curriculum readings. They are designed to help CFA charterholders refresh their understanding of concepts they learned as a candidate and to keep current on the evolution of content in the CFA Program curriculum.
The collection is arranged by topic (approximating the Candidate Body of Knowledge topic outline) to make it easier to find content relevant to specific issues or areas of interest. It will be updated over time as readings are added to or removed from the evolving CFA Program curriculum. If you are interested in learning more about how this body of knowledge is developed, please see our Practice Analysis.
