    Has anyone else (among those who passed Part2 in May) received a confirmation of work experience from GARP? - I've submitted my CV in June, so it's almost 5 weeks at the moment..

    Hi BT Team, We all appreciate your hard work and support. I'm sorry for distracting you with that sort of questions (no sarcasm here). I'll never ever ask for updates on the forum.

    Current Issues Readings - How to cope with them?

    Hi Nicole, 2 fresh readings plus Caruana gives us 3 out of 7 readings assigned. What about the remaining 4? Additionally, shall we expect any question sheets? 75. "Towards Better Reference Rate Practices: A Central Bank Perspective," Working Group Established by the BIS Economic Consultative...

    Current Issues Readings - How to cope with them?

    10% of unexpected questions can make the difference, I wish I was 100% confident in the remaining 90% :) I don't want to exaggerate, but the same guy told me literally that November exam questions were absolutely different from what he'd expected :( Btw, he used Kaplan's notes and we're...

    Current Issues Readings - How to cope with them?

    Hi Nicole, any updates on that? I understand the schedule is tight, and it may well seem the topic doesn't deserve so much attention.. Nevertheless, it would be extremely helpful to fill that gap as well - AAMOF, it was tested quite extensively in November according to the feedback I got from...

    Current Issues Readings - How to cope with them?

    Hi BT team, given GARP has completely reworked T9 section, and given you obviously won't have enough time to upload new study materials by May 2014, what are your recommendations?

    Practice questions

    hi David, AAMOF, Grinold Chapter 14 has survived for another year.. Does that mean we can expect some practice questions on it?

    Basel III: The Liquidity Coverage Ratio and Liquidity Risk Monitoring Tools

    Hi Nicole, Thanks a lot for the prompt response, however, I wonder if it's possible to make it a bit more specific in regards to the timelines - "after the New Year" doesn't give me any confidence that I'll get the questions and David's notes, say, by the end of March..

    Basel III: The Liquidity Coverage Ratio and Liquidity Risk Monitoring Tools

    Hi BT Team, Can you please clarify if there're any materials for the "Basel III: The Liquidity Coverage Ratio and Liquidity Risk Monitoring Tools" reading, which has been assigned for 2013 and 2014? For some reason, it's omitted from the Study Planner, although its neighbour readings are there...

    2013 FRM Calendar (Updated 8/15/2013)

    Hi David, any updates on this? Also, are you going to update the "P2.Credit.-Global-Topic-Drill" question sheet? - it's just 24 pages long, I doubt it's sufficient enough to check all key concepts from the P2.Credit section, can you comment on this please?

    Hi ShaktiRathore, Thank you very much for your patience! Finally, got it! The keyword is "geometric", which I've completely ignored up until this moment. What a relief!

    Credit de Servigny, Chapter 3 video - lognormal Future Firm Value

    Hi ShaktiRathore, the following statement of yours is incorrect: ======== Ln(St/S0) has mean return of mu-0.5*sigma^2 or that exp(ln(St/S0)) has mean return of exp(mu-0.5*sigma^2)....raising both sides to the power e ie. taking taking exponents function both sides ======== If you looked at any...

    Hi ShaktiRathore, Thank you very much for your time! It's understood that Ln(St/S0) follows normal with a mean of mu-0.5*sigma^2, however, I don't quite get the last step in that conclude mean(St) = expected(St) = S0* exp(mu-0.5*sigma^2); To my knowledge, it's similar to stating that E(ln(x))...

    Hi David, Just noticed that the video "P2.Credit Gregory, Counterparty Credit Risk" covers only 2nd chapter of the reading. Are you going to upload videos for the remaining four chapters (3-7)? Thank you,

    Credit de Servigny, Chapter 3 video - lognormal Future Firm Value

    Hi David, Can you please help me out with the lognormal distribution, I think i’m missing some very basic concept here :( Slide #12 says “Exp Future Firm Value (lognormal)=$13.34” - which is S*exp(mu-vol^2/2) - why is that? - I’ve always thought that, given the return follows GBM, the expected...
