    This seminar charge does not include the cost of the Schweser Study Notes. Those wishing to attend this Seminar are
    required to study a copy of these Notes in advance. However FTC Revision Notes are including in the enrollment fee.

    Focal point of the lecture

    FTC Revision Notes (about 350 pages) are used at the seminar to overview Q&A for each Topic Area. The course will review all
    core syllabus and prepares attendants for examination success by focusing on question practice and review. The course is the
    perfect to consolidate the knowledge gained through your self study. Attendants are required to study Schweser Study Notes

    Summary of Style

  • Explanation of all difficult concepts, with preference for detailed understanding (not learning equations rote-fashion)
  • As interactive as possible, trying to get delegates to participate where possible
  • Focus on exam question practice, so a significant proportion of time is spent doing and reviewing exam-style questions
  • Value added is that all delegates should feel confident in tackling even the hardest exam questions by the end of the course
    Warning: this is a REVISION course, so the greatest value is if candidates have already worked their way through the
    entire first five books of Schweser Study Notes.

    2004 LA/USC Videotaped Program (Level I, II, and III)

    We decided not to hold the seminar this year due to USC's system and policy change.

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________________


    2003 Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) Review Program

    Earning the CFA® Charter is a recognized professional and academic achievement, and we wish you every success in
    your efforts to obtain the designation.

    For the 2003 CFA examination, the JSIP is reaching out to candidates with two hands: In addition to the very popular
    (1) LA/USC videotaped study program    , we are offering (2) a three-day Schweser Study Program for all three levels.

    The live three-day Schweser Seminar provides those who have earlier had little time to hit the books an excellent environment in
    which they can receive (1) a concentrated overview of their entire course, (2) instruction in test-taking techniques, and
    (3) advice on how the reading materials tie in with the exam requirements.

    The LA/USC videotaped study program and Schweser Study Program have been independently produced. They approach the
    subject matter from different angles, but CFA candidates will find that they can accomplish their goals by pursuing either
    program. The once-a-week-for-20-weeks approach and the all-in-three-days approach suit different individual candidate needs.

    All candidates have the option of enrolling in either or both programs, which are complementary in that the former
    provides step by step instruction while the latter gives a succinct overview. Enrolling in both programs, you will only pay a total of
    JPY 120,000 for registration.

    ________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    (I) LA/USC Videotaped Program Schedule
    (Levels I, II and III )

    The programs for all Levels II will make use of the AIMR's Los Angeles societyfs videotaped study program. The L.A.
    society has been offering a most successful review course for more than 10 years, led by instructors from the University
    of Southern California.

    The JSIP will provide 20 weekly sessions, each on a two-week delayed basis and lasting approximately two and a half
    hours. A copy of the official session materials (not an AIMR textbook) will be made available.

    The sessions will be held on Saturdays, in a classroom at the Ochanomizu School of Business. The L.A. Societys
    videotaped study program for all Levels will commence on Saturday, January 25, 2003 and run until Saturday,
    May 31, 2003. The class schedule will be made available as soon as we receive confirmation of the seminar dates
    from the L.A. society.

    For those who have specific questions regarding any of the video sessions, a Help Desk will be set up comprising
    professionals in different subject categories (volunteers from among the JSIP charterholding members). The
    turn-around time for Help Desk responses will be subject to the availability of volunteers. Where deemed appropriate
    by the L. A. lecturer, responses may also be provided directly to candidates via e-mail.

    The feedback received from participants in previous re
