CFA Institute requires Level III candidates to select a specialized pathway when registering for the exam. 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:
- Portfolio Management: This traditional CFA Program pathway focuses on constructing, managing, optimizing, and measuring portfolios of public market equity, fixed income, and derivative securities.
- 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.
- 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.
