what was the cvar answer? anybody remember?
The question was about impact of switching from OIS to LIBOR. I chose "dependence on bank risk"
That was a straightforward solving with discount factors given and collateral clausewhat was the cvar answer? anybody remember?
Sorry to hear that,did you not ask for an exception to be allowed to write the exam? May be if you had a genuine cause like traffic?So sad, I missed the exam, arrived there by 1:47pm
I
I used the same option but i think decreasing cva is the right case for the context of the question as pointed by others.
Very sorry to hear about it, even at my exam center - there were 6 candidates in total, that were not allowed to sit for the exam.So sad, I missed the exam, arrived there by 1:47pm
I dont think the answer is 0 because you are using the price of treasury bond instead of the market value of the bond.Me too!
I agree with you. I got the same answer as you.i first calculated the market value of the bond using long treasury bond and short put option. which came to someway around 178. usin the credit spread formula i used this value to get spread of 331 basis
Agreed!..i think around 40 correct answers should be the cuttoff..someone scoring into 50+shud qualify into 1st quartile or max 2ndNope,unless garp decides the pass rate for this year may 2017 to be around 25%.
It should be fair to assume it would be around 50-55. Perception of questions is one thing and solving them under pressure in exam is a whole lot different. On a normal day lot of us with decent prep will do 60 for this exam but it is a completely different ball game to do this in stressful 4 hours where mind plays all kinds of tricks on us
I don't remember the question....ugh...I agree with you. I got the same answer as you.
I did that in part 1, no problem!I made a stupid mistake. for all the questions i answered in two columns. like i circled the answer and as well wrote in the column ( which is supposed to be only used if you change your answer). would this create a problem?
Really... thats sad.. after al the hard work.Very sorry to hear about it, even at my exam center - there were 6 candidates in total, that were not allowed to sit for the exam.
I would say the level of difficulty was moderate..questions were doable and i sailed good till 70th and had to make a guess on last 3-4 bcz of time crunch...comparing the feedback of the earlier exams with the feedback of the actual exam i think the level of the actual exam must have been lower, do you agree??
topics:
market risk
-2 pretty straight forward ES calculations from observed data (as far as i remeber one was the same as in the practice exam)
- 1 question about mean reversion
current issues:
-2 bitcoin questions
-2 negative interest rate questions
- one emerging market question
operational risk:
-a lot qualitative operational risk questions (which in fact were not that easy since i was often choosing between 2 options)
- 1 or 2 wwr questions
credit risk:
- 1 cva calculation
- qualitative questions about ccp
Woohooo...thats like around a min per question..I did not fall into the time trap and my 1st pass through the exam was complete before 2 hours remaining mark. At that point I had 10-15 questions starred to revisit.
I got blanked out on calculating forward rate, not sure what the actual answer is
I also got stuck with var comparison of projected 3 asset portfolio vs. equal weighting and +1 correlation
Hello All - I felt that exam was easy - still I wasn't fully prepared. No unexpected questions.
What do you think should be the pass cutoff around? Considering the low difficulty of this exam - I'm expecting a high cut off of around 65%+.
Current issues in financial markets was highly tested too.
