Is sd bala enough for sfm?

(Guest)

hi, i've just started studying SFM from SD bala. Finished dividend concepts and portfolio management. I find the problems in the book are too easy. I have some knowledge on sfm previously cause i prepared for cfa exams. Am I finding sfm too easy because of this or is the book culprit? Will it be sufficient if i read the book twice before the exam?

If it's not enough please suggest me another book.

Have you heard of Rajiv Singh, he's a faculty for sfm.

Try to grab his class notes or consider watching his videos.

His class notes cross the t's & dot the i's and further

use the practice manual & rtps as suggested by Suvajit.

Many follow SD Bala & AN shridhar, which I suppose

provide conceptual clarity.

S.D. Bala is a good book for clearing concepts. But still you need something else to practice the concepts e.g. compiler or RTP. I guess these combine better with book.

I would suggest

Go through SD Bala and Pattibhiraman for clearing concepts

Then go through CA study material

Finally do the Practice Material, Compiler & RTP..

Snowwhite Publication's book (S.D.Bala) is the Best book for SFM. Concepts are explained so nicely that you will not feel the need of any teacher. So if you have not attended the classes sincerely (like me!), this book is the saviour !
bam mam colleges
hope i have offered some help
