Brainie is a CFA Institute Prep Provider with the mission to provide the necessary tools to accompany you on your journey to the CFA Institute Certificate in ESG Investing. Unlike other CFA ESG preparation material providers, we believe that the CFA Institute already does provide sufficient CFA ESG course material and therefore, we don’t see our job in providing additional CFA study material but, rather, help to memorize the curriculum with our practical, solution-oriented and affordable question bank.
Need to Know about the CFA Certificate in ESG Investing
The CFA Institute Certificate, although a sustainable investment certification, aims to combine the skillsets of investment professionals with the knowledge of ESG specialists. The 500 pages of the CFA ESG certificate study material are designed for self-study, as such we recommend planning roughly 100 to 130 hours of preparation, which equates to 1-3 months of work, depending on the hours per week spent and the pre-existing finance knowledge.
The CFA ESG certification is completely independent from the CFA Institute’s Chartered Financial Analyst program (“CFA”, achieved upon completion of three exams), and therefore is eligible for anyone interested in the emerging field of sustainable investing.
The syllabus is more based on knowing and understanding concepts, regulatory landscape and emerging techniques of integrating ESG, however does not require memorizing difficult formulae.
The computer-based exam can be scheduled freely within 12 months of registering for the program, either as an in-person exam or from home. The entire ESG certificate experience is online.
About the Brainie Question Bank
Reading and memorizing 500 pages can be tedious and difficult. This is where the Brainie question bank is able to add value. The Brainie question bank contains more than 400 questions, based on the current syllabus. The question bank can be used chapter by chapter or across the full curriculum. In our opinion, the Brainie question bank adds the greatest value when combined with the Brainie Summary Sheet.
Our recommended approach is to read the study material provided by the CFA Institute, which provides a solid understanding of the topics in scope, and then use the question bank in combination with the summary sheet which help to fill in the gaps and memorize the content.
We hope to become your preparation partner of choice,
Brainie
