Study group forming — CFA Level I May 2026. Mumbai-based or online.
Hi all — I'm targeting CFA Level I in May 2026 and looking to form a study group. Ideally 4-6 people. I'm based in Andheri, Mumbai but fully open to doing sessions online via Zoom. Currently working through Kaplan Schweser and doing the PCC practice questions. Happy to split topic responsibilities — I can take FI and Derivatives since I work in fixed income. Anyone interested drop your details below.

Honest question: is the CFA still worth it in the AI era?
I keep reading that AI can now do equity research, generate valuation models, and even write analyst reports. So genuinely asking — if a machine can do most of what a CFA trains you for, why spend 3+ years and thousands of dollars on the charter? I'm not trying to be provocative — I have a conditional offer from a fund that wants me to have the CFA. Just want honest opinions from people who've been through it or work in the industry.

CFA Level I — confused about WACC when company has no debt. Help?
I'm studying Corporate Issuers for Level I and I'm confused about one thing. If a company has zero debt, is WACC just equal to the cost of equity? And how does that change NPV calculations? The textbook example uses a levered firm and I'm trying to understand the unlevered case. Our practice question on PCC asked about this and I want to make sure I understand it conceptually not just formula-wise

CFA L2 — is the Equity Valuation vignette as brutal as people say?
About to start Level II prep. I have heard from multiple people that the Equity Valuation vignette in L2 is where most people lose marks. Is it really that hard or is it overhyped? How much time should I allocate to it vs Fixed Income which I already struggled with in L1?

PCC was the one place that gave me an honest, unfiltered picture of what the CFA actually involves — the study hours, the pass rates, the career paths after. I stopped second-guessing myself and just got on with Level I. Cleared it first attempt.
Rohan Agarwal
Equity Research Analyst, MumbaiDuring my articleship I had no idea how to plan the CA Final alongside the workload. The PCC study timeline guides and the forum threads from people who'd already been through it were genuinely game-changing. Passed both groups in one go.
Priya Sharma
Chartered Accountant Big Four Audit Associate, BengaluruSeven years in corporate banking and I'd never heard of the CTP. PCC's breakdown of what it covers and why treasury professionals value it convinced me in one read. I sat the exam six months later. My salary jumped 22% within a year of earning it.
Sarah Chen
Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) Treasury Manager, Standard Chartered, SingaporeI graduated with a BCom and felt completely lost about where to go next — CA, CFA, MBA? The PCC comparison guides were the clearest thing I found anywhere. I chose CFA, joined the community, found a study group, and landed my first equity research role three months before finishing Level I.
