Warren Lammert leverages more than 30 years of investment management experience to serve as the CEO and chief investment officer of Granite Point Capital in Boston, Massachusetts. In addition to his extensive experience, Warren Lammert is a CFA® charterholder.

Like many other agencies and businesses worldwide, the CFA Institute is taking action to protect its employees and stakeholders during the COVID-19 pandemic. One of these actions is the postponement of the June 2020 CFA Exam. More than 245,000 candidates around the world were registered to take the exam, but now their registration will transfer to one of two later examinations. While the CFA Institute has yet to confirm an exact date for the exams, December 2020 is the earliest possible opportunity.

Those who aspire to become CFA® charterholders must pass three levels of the exam. The first level involves 240 multiple-choice questions. All three levels are split into morning and afternoon sessions, both three hours long. The December 2020 exam is set to be the last paper-based exam for Level I candidates as all further exams will be administered online.
