從2024年起,CFA ESG課程大綱的版本不再沿用之前的v1、v2版本叫法,比如2023年CFA ESG是v4版。取而代之的是全面按照年份來區(qū)分。2024年新的課程大綱即為CFA ESG v2024。
一、整體變動
2024版內(nèi)容相比2023版整體縮減10%,這對于考生來講是個好消息。
整體結(jié)構(gòu)保持不變,依然是9大章節(jié)。
二、章節(jié)變動
Chapter 2
第二章去掉了“ESG投資歷史”部分,這表明協(xié)會致力于關(guān)注當(dāng)下最新內(nèi)容。(見下圖)
Chapter 3
在第三章“環(huán)境因素”中,2024年大綱增加了有關(guān)生物多樣性的內(nèi)容,包括其評估、風(fēng)險管理以及與環(huán)境因素和自然相關(guān)風(fēng)險的相互關(guān)聯(lián)性。(3.1.7)(見下圖)
Chapter 6
在第六章“參與和管理”中,2024年大綱細(xì)化了參與策略和戰(zhàn)術(shù)的應(yīng)用,并說明了特定參與形式和主要升級技術(shù),包括代理投票、集體參與和ESG投資論壇。(6.1.5和6.1.6)(見下圖)
Chapter 7
第七章是此次大綱修訂變化最大的部分。整章內(nèi)容進行了重組,2023版本的21個小節(jié)內(nèi)容大幅縮減為2024版的14個小節(jié),可以理解為縮減了幾乎三分之一的內(nèi)容。
在第七章“ESG分析、估值與整合”中,2024年大綱對整合ESG分析到投資過程的描述進行了簡化,并且增加了對信用評級機構(gòu)處理ESG信用評分的解釋。(7.1.10)(見下圖)
Chapter 8
在第八章“綜合投資組合構(gòu)建與管理”中,2024年大綱對管理基于指數(shù)的ESG投資組合的描述做了細(xì)微調(diào)整。(8.1.10)(見下圖)
Chapter 9
在第九章“投資任務(wù)、投資組合分析與客戶報告”中,2024年大綱新增了對金融市場參與者“漂綠”行為及監(jiān)管和后果的內(nèi)容,反映出業(yè)界對于ESG聲明真實性的嚴(yán)格審查,以及解決ESG行業(yè)內(nèi)漂綠行為的日益重要性,幫助考生在日后的工作中應(yīng)對此種復(fù)雜問題的準(zhǔn)備(9.1.4)(見下圖)
三、2024考試大綱權(quán)重變化
Topic | 2024 Topic Weight | 2023 Topic Weight |
Introduction to ESG Investing | 7% | 8-15% |
The ESG Market | 6% | |
Environmental Factors | 12% | 8–15% |
Social Factors | 12% | 8–15% |
Governance Factors | 11% | 8–15% |
Engagement and Stewardship | 9% | 5–10% |
ESG Analysis, Valuation and Integration | 21% | 20–30% |
Integrated Portfolio Construction and Management | 13% | 10–20% |
Investment Mandates, Portfolio Analytics, and Client Reporting | 9% | 5–10% |
從考綱權(quán)重對比情況來看(見上圖),協(xié)會對于ESG知識點考察更加精細(xì),可以直接精確到題目的數(shù)量。
目前來看,第7章和第8章以及ESG三要素的考點占據(jù)多數(shù)??忌鷤儗τ谶@幾個章節(jié)的復(fù)習(xí)也應(yīng)該投入更多時間和精力。
四、2024 Curriculum更新
CFA協(xié)會剛剛正式發(fā)布了2024版curriculum的更新內(nèi)容,9個章節(jié)均有調(diào)整。主要增加了新的案例分析、新的數(shù)據(jù)圖表和更多的練習(xí)題。
如第一章 更新內(nèi)容:
