CFA Level I - Complete CRASH COURSE - Economics + AI

[@dharmenderkothari3047]

I don’t know , how many people will see this comment. I am genuinely saying that understanding concept is more important than focusing to get right answer . Sir made all the concepts very easy to understand, it takes a tough task to make different types of students understand the concept . I have not taken his course , midway I decided to write the exam. Many important topics from the free videos helped me understand the concept. Ps: I have just cleared level 1 examination

I just got my result today (Aug24) and this playlist was instrumental in me passing, that too having virtually no finance background. Putting all this out there for free is amazing, you have no idea how much this has helped me!

@@AniKdoo200 hey anirudh, i watched ift’s videos (mostly all for level 1) , some of mark Meldrum’s videos (esp ethics - he’s the best for it - he has videos where he explains Cfa’s eocq and solves with us - watch that esp) I also watched few of aswini Bajaj’s (best for alternative) and Sanjay Saraf’s videos. I would also recommend watching Gourav kabra’s/edutors summary videos if you’re comfortable with Hindi. And ofc I watched many videos from fintree’s channel too. Hope I could help a little

Dear Utkarsh sir, Got my results yesterday. I passed CFA Level 1 exam in my first attempt (Aug'24). All thanks to you. I am really grateful for all the efforts you have put in for students like me. I had completed my whole syllabus but lacked the confidence after first mock as I scored 61%; only 7 days left for exam. I was thinking about deferral and then a friend of mine suggested your crash course. Will write in marathi from here on, "Mg me kambar kasun kamala laglo. Divas ratra ek kela. Pratyek sandhyakali thakva ani hoil ki nahi yachi bhiti overwhelm karaychi. But nischay pakka hota and gurubal pn bharpur labhle tumchya rupat. exams chya 3 divas adhi punha mock dili 69% aale. Vishwas drudh zala and exam la gelo. crash course baghtanna nehmi swathala mhanaycho; pass zalo tr majha experience ithe lihil and today is the day sir. khup aananda vattoy aaj. manahpurvak aabhar 🙏🙏". From thinking about deferral to passing the exam in my first attempt, it was a rigorous and fulfilling 7 days journey. Thank you very much sir. You are a great teacher and an inspiration. Yours sincerely, Aditya Wadgaonkar

[@vivekkaranath7706]

Dear Utkarsh, Your videos have helped a lot in my preparation for Level -1 without which I would have been searching in the dark for getting some light like a blind man. I don’t have words to thank you for the support I get from your classes. You are nothing less than God to me. I have learned a lot from your classes. Regular classes were detailed and extensive which gave me the experience in real life and understand things better .The Crash course was excellent in the last stage of my preparation to focus on key areas and revise it several times in short period of time. That boosted my confidence to a different level .Your knowledge and experience is incredible. Your short cuts and Jugad tricks helped me solve many complex problems and remember it. Thank you and God bless you..

Just wanted to drop an appreciation comment. Thank you so much Utkarsh Sir! I just gave my CFA 2 days ago, I was in a very tight situation and my syllabus wasn't complete. This crash course was the best possible thing I could have across. The amount of times I have said "he is a GOD" during these videos is uncountable. The shortcuts and stories that you have used to explain certain things, just hands off to you. You are nothing short of a genius, there are no words to explain how much these 5 videos mean to me.

[@hritikporwal2022]

Just a question in alternative investments If in the question of hedge funds valuation it is not mentioned about the fees being calculated as independent of Mgmt fees or net of Mgmt fees , in this case which method should be selected?

[@FintreeIndia]

The CFA Curriculum is not explicit with regard to this. A question of this sort would be unlikely on exam day, however, if a question of this manner is seen on exam day, you may resort to calculating the fee independently. This is with reference to Practice Problem 29 for this respective reading in the CFA Curriculum.

Sir. We say S-I=(G-T)+(X-M) here G-T is fiscal deficit.. then y everywhere it is written like that.. if we increase savings fiscal deficit will decrease and if we increase private investment fiscal deficit will decrease..??

Savings are used on investment spending, to finance government deficits, and to maintain a positive trade balance. These are the uses of savings and it does aid in managing fiscal deficit.

Hi Sir, There’s this question eating my brain from past 2 days please help me on this, If the domestic country desires to reduce a current account surplus, the most likely outcome is that it will: A. lend to foreign countries. B. encourage foreign direct investment. C. have a lower gross domestic product (GDP) than if it were a closed economy. Solution A is correct. Because there is a current account surplus, the domestic country will need to lend to foreign countries -most likely, those with current account deficits. B is incorrect. Foreign direct investment into the domestic country will increase the current account surplus. So basically my question is If they want to reduce surplus then they can either increase imports or increase investments which is option B and increase Government spending how does lending would be correct? Country lend the excess money when they have surplus. So why it’s not B and A? Please help.
