Thank you very much. I really enjoy this site and everyone that I have net on here. I have recommended you to a number of friends and this will just give me something else to tell them when they ask about the level of customer service. Thanks again!! Shannon

Hi Suzanne, I realize that certain documents are set up only for people who have purchased certain products, but as a member who has been very active on this board, not just in asking questions but also by giving advice when I feel I have something to share, I humbly ask that you make it...

Thank you Suzanne. I got the level 2 AIMs, but it seems like I may need level 1 access (which I do not have) to get to the level 1 AIMs. Is there any way I could access that file? Thank you so much for your help, Shannon

Hello, I was wondering if you had pdf versions of the 2011 and 2012 GARP AIM statements. I am brushing up on a few topics for an interview and I was hoping to be able to look over the AIMs to help me locate everything I may need to review. Thanks!! Shannon

Hi David, I am looking over a really good summary of how risk management is being used in Hedge funds after the crisis. One stat I read said that during the crisis, 2/3 of counterparty credit losses were dues to CVA losses and only 1/3 of losses were dues to actual defaults. I just want to...

I just got approved as well. Thank goodness! Best of luck to everyone on here and thanks again for everyone's support! Shannon

Congrats! When did you submit your info? Shannon

I just read an article from the BIS website (looks like it may have been written by S&P) and something seemed very backwards to me. I was hoping someone might be able to clarify part of it. This was an article that discussed the leverage ratio. It stated that when a firm is SELLING credit...

That is exactly how I read it!! Keeping my fingers crossed!!

This may be getting a little technical, but I do not see anything about experience being too old to qualify under the requirements section on the GARP website. Not sure if its worth your while mentioning that to them, but if they reject me for that reason I will certainly make them aware of...

I am sorry to hear that. I am a little worried myself. I have trading experience from 1999-2005, but then followed another career path for a while and have been a risk manager for a little less than a year. Would not surprise me either way, but I would be lying if I said I wouldn't be upset...

I waited until the middle of July to send in all of my stuff, so maybe I will have to wait a bit. May I ask how you were notified? I assume it was an email.

Really? September? I was hoping a month would suffice for them to get through everything. I guess I was overly optimistic.

I guess I jumped the gun with that thread. As soon as I posted it I saw the other one you mentioned. Thanks! Shannon

Hi David, Now that I have passed part 2 of the FRM I am considering studying for the CFA. I REALLY over studied for the FRM. I was in the top quartile for 8 of the 9 sections and 2nd quartile in the "current events" section of part 2. I dont really regret it because I think I got a lot more...

Has anyone gotten word on certification status? I was really thinking 1 month would have been enough time for them to look over our employment records. As of right now I am still labeled "FRM holder" on the GARP site. Thanks! Shannon

Just curious, but has anyone received confirmation from GARP as to whether or not they are now a "Cretified FRM"? Thanks! Shannon

I know that treatment of collateral is not gone into too heavily on the exam, but I was reading through the main Basel II document and when it discussed collateral haircuts it kept mentioning a 10 day holding period. For instance, a AAA soverign with a maturity of greater than 5 years has a...

That is really helpful. Thank you. My problem is that I do not know what the respected headhunters are in New York and how many I need to contact. There are hundreds of them in the city so it is tough to tell which ones I should go through. Are you in the tri-state are by any chance? If...

Awesome! Thanks! Shannon
