Pathways for CFA Level III

Official Level III pathway hubs for Portfolio Management, Private Markets, and Private Wealth.

Level III now combines a common core with one selected official pathway. The pathway should not be mixed casually into the common-core reading flow. Candidates first need the shared portfolio logic, then the pathway-specific application layer that matches the exam they actually registered for.
