Concepts, not memorization

300hourscfa • Instagram • Post of the Week

There is a natural tendency among CFA candidates to view the Quantitative Methods material as a long list of equations to be memorized and worked through to produce a correct answer. ⠀⠀

There are definitely a number of equations with which you are well-advised to become intimately familiar and you will likely give your calculator quite a workout when answering questions on this topic, but there is more to mastering this material than number crunching. ⠀⠀

For example, the knowledge that a dataset’s harmonic mean is always less than its geometric mean, which is always less than its arithmetic mean, is just as important as memorizing the formulas used to calculate these measures. Similarly, you don’t need to use your calculator to know that a security’s bank discount yield is less than its effective annual yield.⠀

Concepts are important!
