A positively skewed distribution has a "fat" right tail (but not left tail). If the variance is large (larger) as a direct consequence of exhibiting a fat right tail depends (in my opinion) on the mean of the distribution and can't/shouldn't be phrased as a mathematical law. You can also refer...

Thanks Brian, also from my side good luck and hold through, from experience, if one has started learning very early (meaning January/February or so) this is the time where motivation lows can kick in, we just have to think at all the work and time invested until now in order to not get...

Hi @David Harper CFA FRM CIPM , don't worry, I can live with not being able to upload files here. Don't want to add you any stress. :)

Hi @irenab , great, many thanks for the information and for the hints!! :) I've only reviewed part 1 topics today, tomorrow I planned to look at the Basel III: Liquidity coverage ratio... reading and revise Operational risk topics in general, if I somehow manage it to sum the main points of the...

Hi David, I am very glad you and the site are back, I had a bit of panic that I couldn't access the forum in case I wanted to look up some threads for practice questions or practice exams. :)

Hi @irenab , I have started reading “A Comparative Assessment of Basel II/III and Solvency II” (actually only made it past the introduction :confused:) and planned to write a short summary just to get a grip on it, but due to time reasons I didn't manage to do this. Have you by any chance read...

Hi @Steve Jobs , well the document contains information on the readings from the current issues section (as laid out by GARP for 2014) except for the Caruana text, which was already covered by David. I am not so sure the wording "cover" applies best to my document, because it is certainly not as...
