Level 1 Fixed Income

[cfachamp101]

What is a good way to study this part? It is a fair amount of reading and counts for about 10% on exam? And I found it really hard to grasp the concepts…

Just keep on it. Find other sources, videos or re-read the books. That part can be straightforward when you get into it (it has a high level of mechanical calculations that with repetition and memory can be mastered)

No secrets, like any other topic. Keep the LOS in front of you as you read, and take them one at a time (there’s 55 of them over the 7 readings). A lot of them are pretty straightforward. But to avoid getting lost, always approach the readings/material with the goal (i.e. the LOS) in mind. There’s a lot of “low hanging fruit” in there, and your goal is not necessarily to get every single thing down on a first pass. Just keep the LOS list in mind and keep checking them off.
