Approximately 65% to 75% of the Level III exam topic weight will relate to the “Common Core,” while the remaining 25% to 35% will relate to the selected pathway.  
The CFA Program has always had alternative investments as one of the 10 exam topics throughout the program. While the Private Markets Pathway takes a closer look at some alternative investment assets, its depth is not comparable to the CAIA Charter. With that said, CFA charterholders can earn the CAIA Charter by passing just one exam.
These two programs are similar in that both contain content relating to private wealth management, but the breadth and depth of the programs is not comparable. The CFP® certification is an in-depth designation program dedicated solely to private wealth management, whereas the Private Wealth Pathway is just a portion of the full CFA program. The CFP® exam requires 250+ hours of study, and candidates must have 4,000 to 6,000 hours of work experience in financial planning in order to earn the certification.
eBook versions are available for SchweserNotes, Schweser's Secret Sauce®, and QuickSheet. Ultimate and Premium Packages include both print and eBook options at no additional cost. Learn more about our eBooks, accessed through VitalSource®, on our FAQ page.

Beginning with the 2025 Level III exams, CFA Institute introduced specialized pathways. Each pathway was developed to give candidates more options to learn content directly related to their interests and career goals. The three specialized pathways are: 

  1. Portfolio Management: This traditional CFA Program pathway focuses on constructing, managing, optimizing, and measuring portfolios of public market equity, fixed income, and derivative securities.
  2. Private Markets: This pathway addresses private markets investing primarily from the perspective of the general partner (GP). It builds on key valuation and other competencies in the CFA Program from all four asset class domains.
  3. Private Wealth: This pathway offers a global perspective on and universal principles for serving high-net-worth clients (worth US$5M+). It is structured as an arc from a young adult being onboarded to generating wealth through wealth transfer.

OnDemand classes provide tens of hours of prerecorded video lectures delivered by Schweser's expert instructors. These lectures can be accessed anytime, anywhere, giving you the ultimate flexibility to learn at your own pace.

Live Online classes combine the convenience of online learning with the structure of scheduled live sessions. These classes are held on specific dates and times and are recorded, allowing you to revisit them later or catch up if you miss a session.

In-Person classes are available in select locations and offer a traditional classroom experience. They are ideal for those who learn best in a face-to-face learning environment with direct teaching from an expert instructor.

Approximately 65% to 75% of the Level III exam topic weight will relate to the "Common Core," while the remaining 25% to 35% will relate to your selected pathway. Our Level III exam prep products follow a similar structure. While the products across each pathway function the same, approximately 25% to 35% of the content will be specific to your selected pathway.
There are a lot of opinions out there on what makes a good study plan—simply because what works for one individual does not mean it will work for another.

We create packages and materials based off of data and insights from the hundreds of thousands of candidates we’ve helped pass the CFA exam over the past 30+ years. The Activity Feed (included in all packages) provides you with strategically placed weekly tasks to form a comprehensive study plan that covers the entire curriculum. We recommend sticking to this plan as closely as possible and using the Performance Metrics to understand which topics you’ve mastered and which need additional practice.

We also recommend using the month prior to exam day strictly for review. Attend a Review Workshop, read Schweser's Secret Sauce®, and take a mock exam to gauge your readiness.

The Premium Package is our recommended package. We’ve spent the last 30 years understanding what makes CFA Program candidates successful and improving our offerings to align with those needs. The Premium Package includes our most important tools and it is designed in accordance with how candidates prefer to study.

No two candidates are alike, which is why we also offer the Ultimate, Premium, Essential, and Basic Packages. The Premium package is designed for candidates who enter the CFA Program without an extensive background in investments or finance and prefer a structured class. The Essential Package is perfect for the candidate that has a strong understanding of the curriculum but needs to learn and/or refresh themselves with the curriculum.
