Studying CFA Level 2 ethics with flashcards

Ethics on CFA Level 2 rewards precise recall of each Standard and the judgment to apply it in a case, and CFA level 2 ethics flashcards are a practical way to drill the rules that come up again and again. Short prompts work well for definitions, required disclosures, and the specific actions each Standard calls for.

  • Write one card per Standard component, including its purpose and the required action.
  • Turn each case vignette into a question that asks which Standard applies and why.
  • Keep each card to one testable point so you can rate recall honestly.
  • Review cards you missed the day before, then extend the interval once they stick.
Example CFA Level 2 ethics flashcards
Standard I(A) Knowledge of the Law: when local law and the Code and Standards differ, which rule applies?The stricter of the two applies. Members must comply with applicable law and the Code and Standards, so the more demanding requirement governs.
Standard I(B) Independence and Objectivity: what should a member do with a gift from a client that could compromise independence?Refuse it or disclose it to the employer as policy requires. Gifts that could reasonably be expected to affect objectivity should not be accepted without that step.
Standard III(A) Loyalty, Prudence, and Care: whose interests come first when acting for clients?The clients' interests come first, ahead of the employer's and the member's own. Members must act with the care and skill of a prudent expert.
Standard V(A) Diligence and Reasonable Basis: what must exist before a member makes an investment recommendation?A reasonable and adequate basis supported by research and investigation. Recommendations should rest on diligence rather than assumptions.
Standard VII(B) Referral Fees: what must a member disclose about compensation for referrals?Any referral fee paid or received must be disclosed to clients and employers. Disclosure lets clients judge whether a recommendation is free of hidden incentives.

Built from your material

Upload PDFs, PPTX slides, DOCX files, plain notes, or photos of pages. The text is read and turned into cards from your own readings.

Spaced repetition

Cards you find hard come back sooner, and cards you know are spaced further apart, so review time goes to the Standards you still miss.

Export when you need it

Study in the browser on the free plan. Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki, and CSV export so your ethics deck can travel with you.

How it works

Upload your ethics material

Add the Standards section of your notes, a reading PDF, or slides from your review course.

Review the generated cards

Check the front and back of each card against your source and remove anything that is off.

Study on a spaced schedule

Rate each card as you go and let the schedule bring back the Standards you are still shaky on.

Cards built from your own readings and notes keep you close to the wording your course and the curriculum use. Spaced repetition then brings back the Standards you miss, so you spend less time rereading material you already know.

Flashcards handle recall, but case vignettes test whether you can apply the Standards under pressure. Pair your card review with practice questions on the same Standards so that memorizing the rules and using them in a scenario happen in the same study cycle.
