Korea Investment Asset Manager study guide

투자자산운용사 (Investment Asset Manager) is a Korean financial-investment qualification for people who want to work on the buy side of the industry - fund and discretionary portfolio management, wealth management and private banking, pension and insurance asset management, and the compliance and product roles that sit around them. It is administered by the Korea Financial Investment Association (KOFIA, 금융투자협회), and candidates should treat KOFIA's own candidate guide as the only authoritative source for current logistics. The syllabus is broad rather than deep. It spans financial investment products and market structure, asset management theory and risk management (including portfolio mathematics and performance measurement), equity valuation, fixed income mathematics and derivatives pricing, and a large block of capital-markets regulation, ethics, and tax/accounting fundamentals. Topics on this exam: Financial investment products and markets (금융투자상품 및 금융시장), Asset management and risk management (자산운용 및 리스크관리), Equity and valuation analysis (주식 투자분석), Fixed income and derivatives analysis (채권·파생상품 분석), and Capital markets regulation, ethics, and tax/accounting fundamentals (법규 및 윤리, 세무·회계 기초). The Korea Investment Asset Manager study guide has 5 sections and about 1,083 words.
