If a bond's yield to maturity rises, what happens to its price?

Answer: Its price falls. Bond prices and yields move inversely.

All else equal, how does a higher discount rate affect the present value of a future cash flow?

Answer: It lowers the present value: discounting at a higher rate shrinks the amount the cash flow is worth today.

Under the CFA Standards, what must a member do with material non-public information?

Answer: Not act on it or cause others to act on it. The Standards prohibit trading on material non-public information.

How to Study CFA Level I

  • Spend disproportionate time on Ethics and Financial Statement Analysis: together they make up the largest share of the exam.
  • Practise in 90-minute blocks to mirror the real session length and build pacing of roughly 90 seconds per question.
  • Answer Ethics questions straight from the Standards of Practice, not from general intuition.
