Item 4 – Advisory Business
Vista (formed in January 2001) is a fee-only investment advisor based in Portland, Oregon.
We specialize in investment and wealth management for clients with more than $2,000,000
million to invest. Vista strives for investment success through a disciplined, repeatable
investment philosophy that utilizes index funds to maximize long-term returns by
minimizing costs and taxes. We focus on true sources of returns, not on stock-picking or
market-timing, by structuring portfolios to benefit from smarter combinations of asset
classes.
We advise clients on other important areas of their financial lives, including retirement
planning, concentrated positions, college savings plans and charitable giving. As each client’s
financial “quarterback”, we work closely with their advisors in the areas of insurance, estate
planning and taxes to develop a comprehensive wealth management plan to meet their goals.
Vista prepares a custom Investment Policy Statement for each client based on their
particular situation and manages their money according to this Statement. Clients may
always impose restrictions on investing in certain securities or types of securities.
As of 12/31/2024, Vista managed $2,718,788,300 discretionary assets.
Michael O’Reilly, Douglas Johanson, and Dougal Williams are the principal owners of Vista,
with Michael owning 24%, Douglas and Dougal each owning 18% of the firm. John Convery
owns 10%, Robert Greenman owns 9%, Lindsey Williams owns 8%, Douglas Post owns 7%,
Tana Thomson owns 4%, and Julia Tierney, Andrew Darkins and Jonathon Gannon each own
1% of the firm.

Please Note
Retirement Rollovers-Potential for Conflict of Interest
:
.
: A client or
prospective client leaving an employer typically has four options regarding an existing
retirement plan (and may engage in a combination of these options): (i) leave the money in
the former employer’s plan, if permitted, (ii) roll over the assets to the new employer’s plan,
if one is available and rollovers are permitted, (iii) roll over to an Individual Retirement
Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account value (which could, depending upon the client’s
age, result in adverse tax consequences). If Vista recommends that a client roll over their
retirement plan assets into an account to be managed by Vista, such a recommendation
creates a conflict of interest if Vista will earn new (or increase its current) compensation as
a result of the rollover. When acting in such capacity, Vista serves as a fiduciary under the

managed by Vista
Vista’s Chief Compliance Officer, John Convery, remains available
to address any questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the
potential for conflict of interest presented by such rollover recommendation.
Client Obligations
. In performing its services, Vista shall not be required to verify any
information received from the client or from the client’s other professionals, and is expressly
authorized to rely thereon. Moreover, each client is advised that it remains his/her/its
responsibility to promptly notify Vista if there is ever any change in his/her/its financial
situation or investment objectives for the purpose of reviewing/evaluating/revising Vista’s
previous recommendations and/or services.

Please Note: Investment Risk
. Different types of investments involve varying degrees of
risk, and it should not be assumed that future performance of any specific investment or
investment strategy (including the investments and/or investment strategies recommended
or undertaken by Vista) will be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s).
Schwab.
As discussed below at Item 12, Vista recommends that Schwab serve as the broker-
dealer/custodian for client investment advisory accounts. Broker-dealers such as Schwab
charge brokerage commissions and/or transaction fees for effecting securities transactions.
In addition to Vista’s investment management fee, brokerage commissions and/or
transaction fees, clients will also incur, relative to all mutual fund and exchange traded fund
purchases, charges imposed at the fund level (e.g. management fees and other fund
expenses). The fees charged by Schwab, as well as the charges imposed at the mutual fund
and exchange traded fund level, are in addition to Vista’s advisory fee referenced in Item 5
below.
Portfolio Activity.
Vista has a fiduciary duty to provide services consistent with the client’s
best interest. As part of its investment advisory services, Vista will review client portfolios
on an ongoing basis to determine if any changes are necessary based upon various factors,
including, but not limited to, investment performance, fund manager tenure, style drift,
and/or a change in the client’s investment objective. Based upon these factors, there may be
extended periods of time when Vista determines that changes to a client’s portfolio are
neither necessary nor prudent. Of course, as indicated below, there can be no assurance that
investment decisions made by Vista will be profitable or equal any specific performance

Item 5 – Fees and Compensation
Fees are generally negotiable and may vary from the schedule listed below.
Annual Fee
Vista’s standard fee schedule is as follows:
.90% of the first $2,000,000
.75% of the next $3,000,000
.60% of the next $5,000,000
.45% of the next $10,000,000
.30% of the amount over $20,000,000
Annual Fee - Institutional Client
.65% of the first $5,000,000
.50% of the next $5,000,000
.35% of the next $10,000,000
.25% of the amount over $20,000,000
The specific manner in which fees are charged by Vista is established in a client’s written
Account Agreement with Vista. Vista will include the entire market value of any margined
assets when computing its advisory fee. Accordingly, Vista’s fee shall be based upon a higher
margined account value, resulting in Vista earning a correspondingly higher advisory fee.
Vista will generally bill its fees on a quarterly basis. Clients will be billed in arrears each
calendar quarter. Upon clients’ authorization, Vista shall directly debit fees from client
accounts. Management fees shall be prorated for each capital contribution and withdrawal
made during the applicable calendar quarter (with the exception of de minimis contributions
and withdrawals). Accounts initiated or terminated during a calendar quarter will be
charged a prorated fee. Upon termination of any account, any earned, unpaid fees will be
due and payable.
Vista’s fees are exclusive of brokerage commissions, transaction fees, and other related costs
and expenses which shall be incurred by the client. Clients may incur certain charges
imposed by custodians, brokers, third party investment and other third parties such as fees
charged by managers, custodial fees, deferred sales charges, odd-lot differentials, transfer
taxes, wire transfer and electronic fund fees, and other fees and taxes on brokerage accounts
and securities transactions. Mutual funds and exchange traded funds also charge internal
management fees, which are disclosed in a fund’s prospectus.

compensation (
Item 6 – Performance-Based Fees and Side-By-Side Management
Vista does not charge any performance-based fees (fees based on a share of capital gains on
or capital appreciation of the assets of a client).
Item 7 – Types of Clients
Vista provides portfolio management services to individuals, trusts, estates, corporations
and business entities, corporate pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable institutions,
foundations, and endowments.
Vista generally requires a minimum of $2 million of assets to be placed under its
management to commence an engagement. However, Vista may waive this requirement
and/or charge a lesser investment management fee based upon certain criteria (i.e.
anticipated future earning capacity, anticipated future additional assets, dollar amount of
assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations with client, etc.).
Please Note: As result of the above, similarly situated clients could pay different fees. In

have regarding advisory fees.
Item 8 – Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
Please Note: Investment Risk
. Different types of investments involve varying degrees of
risk, and it should not be assumed that future performance of any specific investment or
investment strategy (including the investments and/or investment strategies recommended
or undertaken by Vista) will be profitable or equal any specific performance level(s).
Investing in securities involves risk of loss that clients should be prepared to bear.
9
Vista begins by developing a complete understanding of each client’s financial goals,
tolerance for risk, time horizon, and income needs. Based on this information, Vista writes
an investment plan, designed to deliver the greatest chance of achieving long-term
success. A key feature of the investment plan is the asset allocation—the way in which assets
will be divided between different investments (stocks, bonds, real estate, cash). Academic
studies have shown asset allocation to be the most important determinant of investment
return and risk (these two characteristics always go hand in hand). Investing in capital
markets involves uncertainty. It requires giving up a great deal of control and subjects
investors to sudden, severe and upsetting short-term drops in the price of their
investments. However, with risk comes the potential for higher returns over time, which
actually reduce other risk—the risk of failing to reach real-life, long-term goals and the risk
of inflation eroding principal.
Investing in stocks comes with a risk of loss. For example, the well-known Standard & Poor’s
500 Stock Index has posted negative returns 27% of the calendar years from 1926-
2023. However, this risk of loss diminishes over time, as only 12% of all five-year periods
resulted in losses. Over all fifteen-year periods, returns were positive 100% of the
time. Diversification is another method of reducing the risk of loss. Vista constructs
investment portfolios consisting of U.S. stocks, international stocks (developed and
emerging markets), U.S. and international real estate (via income-producing real-estate
investment trusts, also known as REITs), bonds, and cash or cash equivalents (for example,
money market funds). The work of Nobel Prize-winning economists has shown that
combining such asset classes in a portfolio has historically resulted in higher returns with
less risk, as compared to non-diversified portfolios.
For exposure to these asset classes, Vista invests primarily in index funds. An index fund is
a basket (portfolio) of stocks which owns most or all of the securities in a market or market
sector. In the management of an index fund, no attempt is made to pick “attractive” over
“unattractive” securities or to time the market. Rather, by owning all the securities in the
market sector an index fund mimics the market’s performance. Index funds generally
enjoy lower investment costs (management fees, transaction costs, and tax costs) as
compared to “actively managed” funds. Consequently, index funds deliver superior long-
term performance compared to the majority of actively managed funds.
Over time, differences in performance of the various asset classes will cause them to drift
from their allocation targets. A disciplined rebalancing strategy restores the portfolio’s
target allocation once a minimum or maximum threshold has been exceeded. This
disciplined process serves to keep risk at the appropriate level while minimizing trading
costs and taxable gains.

Item 9 – Disciplinary Information
Registered investment advisers are required to disclose all material facts regarding any legal
or disciplinary events that would be material to your evaluation of Vista or the integrity of
Vista’s management. Vista has no information applicable to this Item.
Item 10 – Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations
Vista is not actively engaged in a business other than giving investment advice. Vista does
not sell products or services other than investment advice to clients.
Item 11 – Code of Ethics
Vista has adopted a Code of Ethics for all supervised persons of the firm describing its high
standard of business conduct, and fiduciary duty to its clients. The Code of Ethics includes
provisions relating to the confidentiality of client information, a prohibition on insider
trading, a prohibition of rumor mongering, restrictions on the acceptance of significant gifts
and the reporting of certain gifts and business entertainment items, and personal securities
trading procedures, among other things. All supervised persons at Vista must acknowledge
the terms of the Code of Ethics annually, or as amended.
Vista anticipates that, in appropriate circumstances, consistent with clients’ investment
objectives, it may recommend to clients or prospective clients, the purchase or sale of
securities in which Vista, its affiliates and/or clients, directly or indirectly, have a position of
interest.
Vista’s employees and persons associated with Vista are required to follow Vista’s Code of
Ethics. Subject to satisfying this policy and applicable laws, officers, directors and employees
of Vista and its affiliates may trade for their own accounts in securities which are
recommended to and/or purchased for Vista’s clients.
The Code of Ethics is designed to assure that the personal securities transactions, activities
and interests of the employees of Vista will not interfere with (i) making decisions in the best
interest of advisory clients and (ii) implementing such decisions while, at the same time,
allowing employees to invest for their own accounts. Under the Code certain classes of
securities have been designated as exempt transactions, based upon a determination that
these would materially not interfere with the best interest of Vista’s clients. In addition, the
11
Code requires pre-clearance of many transactions, and restricts trading in close proximity to
client trading activity. Nonetheless, because the Code of Ethics in some circumstances would
permit employees to invest in the same securities as clients, there is a possibility that
employees might benefit from market activity by a client in a security held by an employee.
Employee trading is continually monitored under the Code of Ethics, and to reasonably
prevent conflicts of interest between Vista and its clients.
Certain affiliated accounts may trade in the same securities with client accounts on an
aggregated basis when consistent with Vista's obligation of best execution. In such
circumstances, the affiliated and client accounts will share commission costs equally and
receive securities at a total average price. Vista will retain records of the trade order
(specifying each participating account) and its allocation, which will be completed prior to
the entry of the aggregated order. Completed orders will be allocated as specified in the
initial trade order. Partially filled orders will be allocated on a pro rata basis. Any exceptions
will be explained on the Order.
Vista’s clients or prospective clients may request a copy of the firm's Code of Ethics by
contacting John Convery.
Vista also makes the following pledge to clients:
We believe our clients give us something more valuable than their money to manage; they
give us their trust and confidence. We take this responsibility seriously and are dedicated to
providing uncompromising financial stewardship.

It is Vista’s policy that the firm will not affect any principal or agency cross securities
transactions for client accounts. Vista will also not cross trades between client accounts.
Principal transactions are generally defined as transactions where an adviser, acting as
12
principal for its own account or the account of an affiliated broker-dealer, buys from or sells
any security to any advisory client. A principal transaction may also be deemed to have
occurred if a security is crossed between an affiliated hedge fund and another client account.
An agency cross transaction is defined as a transaction where a person acts as an investment
adviser in relation to a transaction in which the investment adviser, or any person controlled
by or under common control with the investment adviser, acts as broker for both the
advisory client and for another person on the other side of the transaction. Agency cross
transactions may arise where an adviser is dually registered as a broker-dealer or has an
affiliated broker-dealer.

reputation, execution capabilities, pricing, research, and service. Although the commissions
and/or transaction fees paid by Vista’s clients shall comply with Vista’s duty to obtain best
execution, a client may pay a commission that is higher than another qualified broker-dealer
might charge to effect the same transaction where Vista determines, in good faith, that the
commission/transaction fee is reasonable. In seeking best execution, the determinative
factor is not the lowest possible cost, but whether the transaction represents the best
qualitative execution, taking into consideration the full range of a broker-dealer’s services,
including the value of research provided, execution capability, commission rates, and
responsiveness. Accordingly, although Vista will seek competitive rates, it may not
necessarily obtain the lowest possible commission rates for client account transactions. The
fees charged by the designated broker-

(or another broker-dealer/custodian, investment manager, platform or fund

which assist Vista to better monitor and service client accounts maintained at such
institutions. Included within the support services that may be obtained by Vista may be
investment-related research, pricing information and market data, software and other
technology that provide access to client account data, compliance and/or practice
management-related publications, discounted or gratis consulting services, discounted
and/or gratis attendance at conferences, meetings, and other educational and/or social
events, marketing support, computer hardware and/or software and/or other products used
by Vista in furtherance of its investment advisory business operations.
As indicated above, certain of the support services and/or products that
be received
may assist Vista in managing and administering client accounts. Others do not directly
provide such assistance, but rather assist Vista to manage and further develop its business
enterprise.

Vista’s clients do not pay more for investment transactions effected and/or assets

products as result of the above arrangement.
Vista’s Chief Compliance Officer, John Convery, remains available to address any
questions that a client or prospective client may have regarding the above
arrangement and any corresponding perceived conflict of interest such arrangement
may create.
Directed Brokerage
: Vista does not generally accept directed brokerage arrangements
(when a client requires that account transactions be effected through a specific broker-
dealer). In such client directed arrangements, the client will negotiate terms and
arrangements for their account with that broker-dealer, and Vista will not seek better
execution services or prices from other broker-dealers or be able to "batch" the client’s
transactions for execution through other broker-dealers with orders for other accounts
managed by Vista. As a result, a client may pay higher commissions or other transaction
14
costs or greater spreads, or receive less favorable net prices, on transactions for the account

than would otherwise be the case.
: In the event that the client directs Vista to
effect securities transactions for the client’s accounts through a specific broker-dealer, the
client correspondingly acknowledges that such direction may cause the accounts to incur
higher commissions or transaction costs than the accounts would otherwise incur had the
client determined to effect account transactions through alternative clearing arrangements
that may be available through Vista. Higher transaction costs adversely impact account
performance.
: Transactions for directed accounts will generally be
executed following the execution of portfolio transactions for non-directed accounts.
To the extent that Vista provides investment management services to its clients, the
transactions for each client account generally will be effected independently, unless Vista
decides to purchase or sell the same securities for several clients at approximately the same
time. Vista may (but is not obligated to) combine or “bunch” such orders to obtain best
execution, to negotiate more favorable commission rates or to allocate equitably among
Vista’s clients differences in prices and commissions or other transaction costs that might
have been obtained had such orders been placed independently. Under this procedure,
transactions will be averaged as to price and will be allocated among clients in proportion
to the purchase and sale orders placed for each client account on any given day. Vista shall
not receive any additional compensation or remuneration as a result of such aggregation.
15
Item 13 – Review of Accounts
Most portfolios are managed by a team, typically consisting of a lead advisor and advisor.
Each client service team is responsible for overseeing all investment advisory activities on a
daily basis and ensuring accounts are managed according to the client’s agreed upon
investment policy.
Doug L. Post, CFP: 105 clients
Dougal Williams, CFA: 3 clients
Andrew Darkins, CFP: 89 clients
Following are Lead Advisors and the number of clients they serve:
Jess Allison, CFP: 78 clients
Jonathan T. Gannon, CFP: 78 clients
Julia Tierney, CFP: 67 clients
Lindsey W. Williams: 57 clients
Patrick Yazhari, CFP: 2 clients
Robert Greenman, CFP: 46 clients
Vanessa DeHaan, CFP, CPA:58 clients
Detailed reports of account holdings and performance and other information are provided
to clients on a quarterly basis. Clients also receive a monthly statement from the custodian.
Vista will manage each client’s portfolio using a customized Investment Plan.
Understanding the Client – Investment Plan
•
Vista makes every effort to gain a complete understanding of a client’s objectives,
income requirements, risk tolerance, liquidity requirements, time horizon, tax
considerations, unique needs and preferences, allowable investments and investment
restrictions. Other topics which are addressed, as needed, in the Investment Plan
include: retirement planning, estate planning, insurance, education costs and cash-
flow management and how these areas impact/tie into the management of the
portfolio. This information is obtained via client interviews and conversations. Vista
has a suitability questionnaire/information sheet that is filled out in this process and
the results are documented in a written Investment Plan that includes the
recommended asset allocation. After presenting the Investment Plan, Vista waits for
the client to sign and return a letter of approval before investing the assets. The
original Investment Plan and approval letter are saved in the client’s file as well as
scanned into Vista’s electronic record system.
•
The Investment Plan is discussed with the client at each account review, a minimum
of annually, to ensure the plan is still appropriate.
•
Changes/Comments regarding other parts of the Investment Plan are clearly noted in
our database (currently CRM Notes).
•
16
A new Investment Plan is written as circumstances warrant.
Monitoring the Account
•
Asset Allocation - Vista’s portfolio management system generates a daily report,
identifying any portfolios which have drifted outside the minimum / maximum range
from their respective target asset allocations. The system’s “dashboard” alerts Vista
advisors to rebalance these portfolios, trimming overweight positions and
replenishing underweight positions with the proceeds.
•
Cash Balances for Income Clients –Advisors monitor daily reports which summarize
the cash balances for those clients taking regular income withdrawals.
•
Cash Balances for Fees – Cash balances are reviewed prior to fees being withdrawn
each quarter to ensure there are sufficient funds available.
•
No single individual security (funds excluded) will make up more than 10% of a
client’s total investable assets with Vista, unless client approval is obtained.
•
Individual investments, along with overall investment strategy are monitored and
discussed on a company-wide basis at weekly investment meetings attended by a
select number of investment advisor professionals. All investment advisor
professionals meet monthly to review key decisions and practices.
In addition to monitoring accounts on a regular basis, Vista also takes seriously its
responsibility to keep clients informed and knowledgeable regarding their portfolios.
Review Procedures
•
Vista’s goal is to have an Account Review with each client no less than once a year.
Account reviews are initiated by Vista and performed on a systematic basis. Face-to-
face account reviews are the best way to ensure accounts are being managed in a
manner consistent with each client’s expectations. Lead Advisors and Advisors
prepare thoroughly for each account review. At a minimum, Lead Advisor and

Item 14 – Client Referrals and Other Compensation
,
As indicated at Item 12 above

discount), support services and/or products. Vista’s clients do not pay more for investment
transactions effected and/or assets maintained at Schwab as result of these arrangements.
There is no corresponding commitment made by Vista to Schwab, or any other entity to
Vista’s Chief
invest any specific amount or percentage of client assets in any specific mutual funds,
Compliance Officer, John Convery, remains available to address any questions that a
securities or other investment products as a result of the above arrangements.
client or prospective client may have regarding the above arrangement and any
corresponding perceived conflict of interest such arrangement may create.
Vista does not compensate any non-employee for client introductions. Vista may compensate
Vista employees for referrals of clients that hire Vista as a result of their relationship with
the employee. This bonus amount may vary over time. Vista does not charge clients
introduced by a Vista employee fees or costs greater than the fees or costs Vista charges its
advisory clients who were not introduced by a Vista employee and who have similar
portfolios under management with Vista.
Item 15 – Custody
Vista does not custody any assets of clients. All assets are held in custody at Charles Schwab
18
& Co. Inc.
Please Also Note:
Vista shall have the ability to deduct its advisory fee from the client’s custodial account on a
quarterly basis. Clients are generally provided with account transaction confirmation
Please Note
notices, and a written summary account statement directly from Schwab, at least quarterly.
: To the extent the Vista provides clients with periodic account statements or
reports, the client is urged to compare any statement or report provided by Vista with the
account statements received from the account custodian.
The account
custodian does not verify the accuracy of Vista’s advisory fee calculation.
Item 16 – Investment Discretion
Vista usually receives discretionary authority from the client at the outset of an advisory
relationship to select the identity and amount of securities to be bought or sold. In all cases,
however, such discretion is to be exercised in a manner consistent with the stated
investment objectives for the particular client account.
When selecting securities and determining amounts, Vista observes the investment policies,
limitations and restrictions of the clients for which it advises. For registered investment
companies, Vista’s authority to trade securities may also be limited by certain federal
securities and tax laws that require diversification of investments and favor the holding of
investments once made.
Investment guidelines and restrictions must be provided to Vista in writing.
Block trades
: Vista may bunch transactions for two or more clients if it is determined that
the block trade is in the best interests of each client participating in the order and is
consistent with Vista’s duty to obtain best execution. The terms negotiated for the block
trade will apply equally to all participating clients. The price of the securities purchased or
sold in a block trade shall be at the average share price for all the transactions of the clients
in that security on a given day, with all transactions costs shared on a pro rata basis.
Trade allocation
: Every effort will be made to assure all clients involved in a block trade
receive an execution the same day. In the event that block trade is not completely executed
in one day, the trades will be allocated pro rata across accounts.
Trade errors
: In the event of a trade error, the client will be made whole regardless of the
cost to Vista. Vista will not benefit from trade errors that result in the purchase/sale of
securities that have increased in value.
Item 17 – Voting Client Securities
19
rd
Unless the client specifically requests otherwise, Vista will accept responsibility to vote
party service, ISS Governance Services, to
proxies on behalf of the client. Vista uses a 3
administer our proxy voting. We have elected to use ISS’s standard and most common
voting policy, which generally accepts the recommendation of the company’s management
as to how to vote the proxy. The client may, if they wish, direct Vista as to how they would
like their proxy voted. If the account is subject to ERISA guidelines, proxies will be voted
based solely on what maximizes the value of the client’s investment (regardless of input
from the client). Clients may also request a copy of ISS’s Proxy voting policy and
procedures.
Item 18 – Financial Information
Registered investment advisers are required in this Item to provide you with certain
financial information or disclosures about Vista’s financial condition. Vista has no financial
commitment that impairs its ability to meet contractual and fiduciary commitments to
clients, and has not been the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.
Item 19 – Business Continuity Plan
Vista has developed a Business Continuity Plan to maintain contact with you in the event of
emergencies, natural disasters, communications interruptions, loss of internet services,
office fire, theft of computers, or other situations that interrupt our normal business
operations.

Chartered Financial Analyst designation (CFA Charterholder since 2005)
Series 65 Uniform Investment Advisor Law Examination
25
The Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charter is a globally respected, graduate-level investment
credential established in 1962 and awarded by CFA Institute — the largest global association of
investment professionals.
There are currently more than 90,000 CFA charter holders working in 134 countries. To earn the CFA
charter, candidates must: 1) pass three sequential, six-hour examinations; 2) have at least four years of
qualified professional investment experience; 3) join CFA Institute as members; and 4) commit to abide
by, and annually reaffirm, their adherence to the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of
Professional Conduct.
High Ethical Standards
The CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct, enforced through an active
professional conduct program, require CFA charter holders to:
Place their clients’ interests ahead of their own
Maintain independence and objectivity
Act with integrity
Maintain and improve their professional competence
Disclose conflicts of interest and legal matters
•
•
•
•
•
Global Recognition
Passing the three CFA exams is a difficult feat that requires extensive study (successful candidates report
spending an average of 300 hours of study per level). Earning the CFA charter demonstrates mastery of
many of the advanced skills needed for investment analysis and decision making in today’s quickly
evolving global financial industry. As a result, employers and clients are increasingly seeking CFA charter
holders—often making the charter a prerequisite for employment.
Additionally, regulatory bodies in 22 countries and territories recognize the CFA charter as a proxy for
meeting certain licensing requirements, and more than 125 colleges and universities around the world
have incorporated a majority of the CFA Program curriculum into their own finance courses.
Comprehensive and Current Knowledge
The CFA Program curriculum provides a comprehensive framework of knowledge for investment decision
making and is firmly grounded in the knowledge and skills used every day in the investment profession.
The three levels of the CFA Program test a proficiency with a wide range of fundamental and advanced
investment topics, including ethical and professional standards, fixed-income and equity analysis,
alternative and derivative investments, economics, financial reporting standards, portfolio management,
and wealth planning.
The CFA Program curriculum is updated every year by experts from around the world to ensure that
candidates learn the most relevant and practical new tools, ideas, and investment and wealth
management skills to reflect the dynamic and complex nature of the profession.
