    FRM Level 2 , Nov 2012 : Post what you remember here

    You are thinking of the Credit Risk section. Try to recall the shadow banking research paper (Slapped in the face by the invisible hand). It was given that a company pledges its shares as collateral, and faces a liquidity crisis if it is unable to renew its repos. In our question, if the...

    FRM Level 2 , Nov 2012 : Post what you remember here

    I got 285M, as we had to take the max of ( previous day's VAR, 3 * avg 60 day VAR) ( and then sum them for VaR and SVaR). The good thing though was that it was given in terms of 10 day 99% directly, no extrapolation needed. The tough part was staying alert enough to realize that it was given :)

    FRM Level 2 , Nov 2012 : Post what you remember here

    It's Ok man. It is because of the exam pressure that we find even easy ones tough. The pressure makes it hard to think clearly. For example, I chose spectral measures instead of ES for the "easy to understand" and "coherent" risk measure. It was only after the exam that I realized that ES is...

    The reason I went for percentage instead of absolute was that, the total assets were given. Other wise, how can one compare large and small banks. Hence, I believe percentage would have made a more appropriate choice. I would've chosen absolute , if the total assets would not have been...

    Hi I just reached home after giving the FRM part 2 exam. I felt that the exam was a little difficult, unlike I had heard from experienced people. The thing about Part 2 was that there was a lot of memorization needed. You could never be sure, which part from what chapter is gonna be asked in...

    May 2012 Exam Results

    Dear friend, 50-60 % is for each part. Suppose 100 ppl sit for part 1. 50 clear. Only those 50 are now eligible for part 2. Again 50 % pass rate would mean, only 25 ppl clearing it. Therefore, overall pass percentage is 25 %. I feel that it is a simple marketing strategy, show the facts ...
