Most parts of the syllabus have been lightly updated or remain unchanged in Version 7. However, there are significant changes in several parts of the syllabus. There are 10 additional scored questions and the examination is proportionately a little longer. (Click here for a summary and download the Version 7 syllabus for details).

A new Topic 5: Client Objectives has been added to Unit 1 of the IMC, and covers investor objectives, attitude to risk and the responsibilities of giving client advice. There is fuller coverage of property investment and more detail on commodities and derivatives in Topics 2, 3 and 6. The Accounting Topic 7 has been updated to focus on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

It is important that candidates regularly check this page for updates to the syllabus.
