2017年6月CFA三级考纲变化解析

了解CFA官方最新考纲是一个优秀备考计划的开始，掌握好考试的侧重点，接下来按照学习时间来分配即可达到事半功倍的效果。财金通教育CFA跟我学项目专业讲师王迅以2017年CFA三级考纲为蓝本，参照2016年考纲，总结变更内容，发现2017年CFA三级考纲除了Reading 12做了重新改写，其它全部没变。

Reading 12的名称从LifetimeFinancial Advice: Human Capital, Asset Allocation, and Insurance改为了Risk Management for Individuals，具体的LOS也做了全部改写。

从LOS中可以看出，改写前后的主要内容应该没有太大的变化，只是表述和侧重点可能发生了些变化。
