Do I have to pass all three subjects in the fund employment examination?
A: No, according to the requirements of the Association, among the three subjects of the fund employment examination, subject 1 is a compulsory subject, and subject 2 and subject 3 are optional subjects, so candidates can apply for the fund employment qualification certificate through subject 1+subject 2 or subject 1+subject 3.
How to choose two subjects of fund examination?
① From the examination crowd, one is the securities business and the other is the equity business. Therefore, if you are in the private equity industry, of course, you should take subject three. If you are a general fund practitioner, I recommend subject two.
② From the chapter content: chapter * * * 14 of subject 2 and chapter * * */kloc-0 of subject 3. The knowledge structure of subject 2 is more and more extensive; Subject 3 focuses on the peripheral information of equity investment funds, which is more professional and detailed.
③ Judging from the difficulty of the exam: Judging from the passing rate of recent exams, the difficulty of the two subjects is actually similar.
Characteristics of examinations in various disciplines of fund industry
Subject 1: fund laws and regulations, professional ethics and business norms. The main feature of this subject is that there are many test sites that need candidates to remember, and it is also a compulsory subject in the fund qualification examination. The test sites involved are basically based on laws, regulations, professional ethics and other related basic theoretical knowledge, so candidates need to spend some time preparing for the exam.
Subject 2: Basic knowledge of securities investment funds. Compared with subject 1 and subject 2: the basic knowledge of securities investment funds needs to be memorized less, but the examination questions of calculation and operation occupy the vast majority. Therefore, in order to learn this subject well, candidates are advised to strengthen their own foundation in economics, finance and advanced mathematics, especially non-professional candidates.
Subject 3: Basic knowledge of private equity investment funds. Compared with subject 2, the difficulty of subject 3 will be much lower than subject 2. Generally speaking, candidates only need to grasp the key points of the textbook according to the requirements of the examination syllabus, and the customs clearance examination is not a big problem.
