The Essentials of Factor Investing
Continuous Professional Development (CPD) is an important part of any advisor’s career, particularly as times change so rapidly. The speed with which factor investing strategies, in particular smart beta products, have imposed themselves in the investment landscape, has left many at a disadvantage when explaining factor investing to clients and prospects.
The following module aims to bridge that gap. We invite financial professionals engaging with this course to digest the information, and then take an optional test at the end. We aim to present the module using clear language, charts, videos and a short case study to enhance the learning experience. Each of the eight chapters should takes up to 15 minutes to thoroughly digest, with a summary and the optional test aimed at reinforcing the knowledge.
A score of at least 12 out of 15 correct answers (80%) for the test will count up to two hours towards your professional CPD requirements. The educational module is already accredited by local and global institutes, including CII, FPI, CISI, FPSB, AFP, FPI, and IBF.
CFA Institute allows its members the ability to self-determine and self-report professional learning credits earned from external sources. CFA Institute members are encouraged to self-document such credits in their online PL tracker.
Good luck!
