Portfolio Construction for CFA Level III

Portfolio Construction is where Level III turns policy language into an actual decision rule. The exam is often asking whether you can read an IPS, identify the binding constraint, and recommend an implementation or rebalancing choice that fits the investor instead of just sounding technically correct.

What This Topic Area Covers

• IPS interpretation and the hierarchy of constraints
• portfolio implementation choices and their tradeoffs
• rebalancing logic under costs, taxes, and client constraints
• recommendation writing where the justification matters as much as the conclusion
