    Hi @CSchmidiger That sounds like you are viewing a sample (which would be the experience if you subscribe to Basic rather than Advanced or Pro). If there is a glitch, or however we can solve/help, @Nicole Seaman will help you first thing tomorrow (Monday) if that's okay .... thanks!

    Schroeck, Chapter 5, pp. 170-186 only: Capital Structure in Banks

    Hi @kate18233 I don't know about removed threads (we don't delete threads as a general rule) but here is the (pdf of) Ong text https://forum.bionicturtle.com/resources/internal-credit-risk-models-by-michael-ong.131/ It was GARP's previous assignment for fundamental credit risk concepts, in...

    Forum Links do not seem to work - RESOLVED

    Thanks for your efforts with this @Nicole Seaman ... it would be nice to get some corroboration by another member/subscriber so we can rule out that it's something on @emilioalzamora1 's setup

    Bionic Beta wins the 1970s

    HI @emilioalzamora1 I've never heard of "bionic beta" ... so, no this had no influence! My original company name was "bionic tutor" because I had aspirations for a broad umbrellas of courses (i was very deliberate about selecting the FRM, but I did not plan to stay so long in the FRM, candidly...

    Forum Links do not seem to work - RESOLVED

    @emilioalzamora1 but @Jorge.Beca is referring to links from the study planner PDF, I think? Re forum search: @Nicole Seaman will weigh in, but we are in the process of upgrading the forum SEARCH function (to Threadloom) ....

    Forum Links do not seem to work - RESOLVED

    I am currently testing each link in the Practice Question set document (I assume you refer to the PQ at https://learn.bionicturtle.com/topic/question-set-elton-gruber-chapter-13-a-5/ not the notes since you said exercises @Jorge.Beca ?) and they are working fine for me; e.g., starting with the...

    Spreadsheet doesn't contain Case studies listed in Review Videos

    Hi @ABSMOCH Yes, you are right: some of the learning spreadsheets are "lagging behind" their updated video counterparts; including the XLS for Dowd. The updated XLS, unlike this Dowd Ch 3 & 4, tend to be better labelled and relegate the miscellaneous sheets to the "Archive" section of the...

    FRM Fun 13: Absolute versus relative VaR versus UL

    Hi @saurabh.alkari sure thing! You make a good point and you are correct that the above presumes profit/loss (P/L). The P/L convention assumes the inputs mathematically retain their meaning: profits are +$P and losses are -$L. Hence our typical absolute VaR implicitly does assume P/L and is...

    Derivation of minimum variance portfolio

    Hi @Jorge.Beca Re: MVP, Yes, I have tagged our edit project (the master list of edit tasks) with adding that annotation. The derivation has been much discussed and elaborated already in the forum (if you search "minimum variance portfolio"); e.g...

    Miller, chapter 7, End of Chapter questions

    Hi @dsake Question 3: When the returns are normal (or presumed to be normal), a key action is the standardization of a "raw value,"see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_score We standardize X with Z = (X - µ)/σ; in this way, the "raw" X value is translated into a standard normal value...

    Value at risk (VAR)

    @jlahuerta @Flashback makes an excellent point that three different approaches are possible, but this is a revision of an older flawed practice question (see https://forum.bionicturtle.com/threads/frm-2011-practice-exam-part-1-exam-2-question-24-garp11-p1-24.4488/) ... but the best modern...

    Hi @Ashok_Kothavle Right, but those Principles do not appear to be explicated in the Learning Objectives, which I have listed below, plus brief annotation: Principles for the Sound Management of Operational Risk,” (Basel Committee on Banking Supervision Publication, June 2011). [OR–1] Describe...

    @Nicole Seaman @jaivipin is referring to Malz Chapter 8 (our page 19) where @Flashback is correct (our formula is missing a square root in the denominator). Thanks!

    Questions selection for exam paper - FRM-2

    Hi @jaivipin I think your questions are very good. I have asked GARP (many times) these questions, and variations on them--and many more questions actually--but I have never received a satisfactory answer. For example, I've reported many examples of sections that can be extremely time consuming...
