GIPS Glossary

I was wondering if we have to memorize the GIPS Glossary. It is not marked as optional, however, I wasn’t sure if it was mandatory reading.

It covers pages 236-245 in the 2015 CFA Book 1.

Optional means just that: you don’t have to memorize it.

Hi S2000magician, thanks for the reply. It is not marked as optional. However, it is a glossary of terms, so I wasn’t sure if we would be tested on them.

My mistake: I misread your original post.

It wouldn’t be tested directly (“What’s the definition of a composite?”), but you’d be expected to know what the terms mean if they’re used in a question (e.g., they won’t define a domposite for you in the question).

Great. Thank you for the response :slight_smile:
