  • Spotlight on CAIA: CAIA L1 Mar24 pass rate has just been announced at 46%, and September 2024 registrations opens today. FYI CAIA online proctored exams are now available  only by exception, which may mean it is being phased out in the future. For those who just passed CFA L3, we also included more info on the CAIA Stackable Program which allows eligible CFA Charterholders to proceed to CAIA L2 directly.

  • Study tips and brain health: Finally, we discuss how to improve your study effectiveness and the various types of natural food to boost your brain health and hopefully, concentration. (Tip: basically no ultra processed food).
