Practice · Quant

An analyst computes the time-weighted return of a portfolio with two subperiods returning 4% and −2% respectively. Which of the following is the closest TWR?

  • A. 1.92%
  • B. 1.92%  — your answer
  • C. 2.00%
Charter tutor

TWR compounds the subperiod returns: (1.04)(0.98) − 1 = 1.92%. You're mixing it up with the arithmetic mean (1%), which ignores compounding. (LOS R02.d)

Remember:TWR & money-weighted differ — TWR neutralizes cash-flow timing.

The five things that actually move your score

We took everything the top scorers we interviewed said worked — and built just that.

Beginner-friendly lessons

Every topic taught from first principles — no assumed background. Worked examples, built-in SVG diagrams, and a 'recap three things' block at the end of each lesson. 31 lessons span the full L1 curriculum, from Ethics to Derivatives.

Adaptive practice

Unlimited original questions, ranked by your weak topics and rising in difficulty as you improve. No more grinding the same bank everyone else has.

An AI tutor that actually explains

Stuck on duration? Convexity? Swap spreads? Ask. The tutor cites the LOS, shows the derivation, and can drop to first principles when you need it.

Spaced-repetition flashcards

Every question you miss becomes a flashcard targeting the underlying concept — not the surface fact. Review only what you actually forget.

A plan that reshapes itself

Tell us your exam date. Charter lays out a weekly study plan, re-weights it every Monday based on your accuracy, and sends a 5-minute digest.

Predicted score analytics

See a topic-by-topic accuracy breakdown and a calibrated predicted pass probability. Know where to spend your next hour.

Import your own notes

Drop in the official curriculum, your class handouts, or old summary PDFs. The tutor retrieves from your notes before answering.

Pricing that respects a student budget

Free tier is genuinely useful. Pro costs less than a single practice book. Billed via Razorpay in INR.

Questions you'd ask

I'm brand new to finance. Is this for me?
Absolutely — it's what we built Charter for. The Learn pathway assumes zero background. Ethics and Quantitative Methods are the natural starting points; the lessons carry you forward from there, one worked example at a time.
Is Charter affiliated with CFA Institute?
No. CFA® and Chartered Financial Analyst® are registered trademarks of CFA Institute, which does not endorse or sponsor Charter. We're independent prep.
Do you guarantee I'll pass?
No one honestly can. We help you maximize your preparation and your odds, but the exam is the exam. If you're not satisfied in the first 14 days, we'll refund you.
Where do your questions come from?
Every question is original, generated and then human-reviewed, anchored to the public Learning Outcome Statements. We never reproduce CFA Institute's copyrighted items.
Will it work on my phone?
Yes. Charter is a progressive web app — install it on iOS or Android and run full practice sessions offline.
Do you support L2 and L3?
L1 and L2 are live. L3 (with constructed-response) is on the roadmap for late 2026.
How do I pay from India?
Everything is billed in INR through Razorpay — UPI, credit/debit card, netbanking, or wallet. We switched from Stripe to Razorpay because Stripe isn't available to Indian businesses.
