Passed Part-1 in 05/2016 with Q4,Q2,Q2,Q1. They passed me with a Q4 !!

I agree 100% with you. As a result, I did only the quantitative part and passed the exam in May 2016. But not sure if it will work every year with every one.

Don't remember. But a similar question was in BT mock exams. It involved solving 2-variable equation.

I answered 2820 or something like that..

For some reason none of the 4 answers seemed correct for the "gold lease rate" question if anyone remembers.

By non-hedge I meant the simple case "without any hedge".

To summarize 1. For "clean" hedge scenario SIGN determines strength or weakness. + sign (i.e. > 0) means 'strengthening' '-' sign ( < 0 ) means "weakening". 2. For non-hedge scenario the DIRECTION matters.i.e. if B(T) > B(0) means 'strengthening' else "weakening". 3. For un-clean scenario use...

David, Can you please validate following observation. For VAR adjustment for gamma(2nd order) it could be an altogether different story. A positive gamma (i.e. a long call/put and long plain vanilla bond) increases value of the derivative(i.e. option, bond) , hence reduces risk. Hence the...

Somehow I find it hard to remember formulaes and try to solve a question by just using primitives ( these may include very basic formula), e.g. I was able to solve most questions by just using (1+r/m)^m*n= [(1+3.1%/m)^((x+n)*m)/(1+1%/m)^(x*m)]. Even if prices are given, I would still go from...
