Sorry about that Nicole. I started looking around the forum for additional help but was still having trouble finding my answer.

I am trying to understand why KRD levels are most sensitive closer to the maturity of a pay-fixed swap. Let’s say for example, I have a 10-year vanilla pay-fixed swap. The KRD is highest at the 10yr, around 4.54. One side of the transaction is fixed and the swap is essentially a bet on LIBOR...

I think the reason it was slightly less difficult was because of how impossible the May 2017 exam (see passing rate, lowest in ~10 years). How many do you think we can get wrong in order to pass? David said ~30% at least I think.

I thought it was very challenging, but easier than the May 2017 exam. I skipped 10-12 in the first 50 questions because they involved more work/thought, however, by the time I was done with the exam, I was unable to spend enough time on those remaining questions so I had to guess :( I also...

You're the man David! Thank you. (I am assuming its okay if I am off by the fourth decimal point from you?)

Hi David! I was looking at your video labeled: Hull, Options, Futures & Other Derivatives, Chapter 13: Binomial Trees. Can you help me with your backward induction formulas. For a point of reference, please go to 28:34 of your lecture. I understand all the numbers at the second node, its the...

Wow, lowest since Nov 2010 :eek:

I failed... 3-2-3-2... is that a very bad score? Or is it true that if your total adds up to 9 or less, you will most likely pass?

I thought the exam was very difficult, pretty brutal. Kaplan is extremely easy compared to real exam while GARP is relatively easier. I'd say the exam was on par with BT or even a bit harder. I didn't think they'd expect us to go into such great detail. They definitely found very unique ways to...

Small correction above @David Harper CFA FRM - should be "$10 + 48.74%" - you have $1. I understand from your two examples how you discount to the present, but there is a slide that you have in your lecture video that I can't get your values when using the method above. If you look at the image...

Doesn't seem like anyone created a group and its been a month... if Naveen doesn't create one, I don't mind creating one ..

I assumed Part 1... Naveen can you confirm?

If anyone is sitting for the FRM part 1 exam in May that lives in DC, please reply and we can create a study group.

Thank you so much!

Thank you for the adequate response. I think once you tell me how I know that (Rm-Rf) = 6%, I'll be able to figure out this simple problem. We don't know anything about the risk-free rate except that it is an unknown. The only values that are given are the expected returns with their associated...

I am having trouble understanding Slide 34 in Chapter 13 (Elton). The question is: What is the expected return on an asset with a Beta of 2.0? I understand you use the CAPM formula but I do not understand how you get the answer. 12% = Rf + 1.5(Rm-Rf) - I understand 6% = Rf + .5(Rm-Rf) - I...

Hello, I am new to Bionic Turtle. I just signed up for the FRM exam and I plan to purchase a package shortly as I heard this was the best source for FRM preparation. 2 Questions: 1. I have a BS in Finance and an MBA in Finance - but there is still quite a bit (especially on quantitative side)...
