Kaplan CFA Basics: The Schweser Study Guide to Getting Started

もちろんこれだけでCFA合格は絶対に無理ですが、イントロとしては必要十分な情報だと思います。英語も平易で非常に読みやすく、解説も例を取り上げ具体的で、投資について全く無知な人でも容易に理解できる構成です。CFA受験者でなくても投資について興味のある初心者にもお勧めできます。ただ、ちょっと値段が(入門書にしては)高すぎるのが難点です。投資に関して知識のある方は始めからStudy Noteに行ってしまっても良いと思います。

This book does a great job reviewing all the basics of business, accounting, finance and statistics at a beginner's level. The book is very easy to follow-especially if you have a little business background, but at the same time teaches you quite a bit in a short amount of time. It took me about 10 hours to read the entire book and work all the problems at a leisurely pace. If you are looking for a book that will fill in a lot of gaps in a short amount of time, I would definitley recommend this book as an introduction to your CFA level 1 studies.

Utilizing this book as a refresher on some things that I am rusty on. Very good with good explanations, summaries, and examples. Solid coming out of college, but as the old saying goes, use it or lose it. May eventually consider sitting for the CFA.

I think this book is good for fundamental knowledge however, I think certain aspects could be simplified to avoid too much reading.
