Page 70 of the notes for P2.T5 Tuckman chapter 10, starting node of the interest rate tree diagram shows the natural logarithm of the rate rather than the initial rate itself.

In T5-R1-P2-Dowd, under "Define coherent risk measures.", the definition of positive homogeniety refers to X and Y in the image but only X in the text. (P10)

I am using the pdf version of the study material(FRM 2) of bionic turtle. I just wanted to confirm if page 22 of P2.T5. Market Risk Measurement & Management has been intentionally left blank.

@poojanmehta1 Can you please let me know which set of notes you are referring to under Market Risk? There are many sets of notes under that topic. Once you provide that information, I will take a look and make sure that it is fixed when we update that set of notes. We have no reason to leave a blank page, so I'm sure it was just human error on my part. Thank you.

@Nicole Seaman - Am looking at pdf notes of Bruce Tuckman, Fixed Income Securities. The blank page is under Tuckman, chapter 7. (page 22 of the pdf)

Also in the same chapter - Define risk-neutral pricing and explain its use in option pricing, in para one it mentions the example of coin toss for risk neutral pricing. Am assuming the payment on coin toss should be either $2 or$0 (mentioned as 1$) "Let’s assume a fair coin (ie, 50% probably of flipping heads) while the risk-free rate is 3.0% with continuous compounding. You are offered the chance to buy a digital (aka, binary) option that pays, in one year when the coin is flipped, either$2.00 or \$1.00"
