    Exam Feedback May 2022 Part 2 Exam Feedback

    hi Connor, as I have been in my current position for almost 4 years and it perfectly fits the work experience required (I am a market risk manager), I only added that job position. Every role you create can have max 255 characters so I had to remain concise ;) your feedback contradicts the...

    Exam Feedback May 2022 Part 2 Exam Feedback

    I am wondering, as the questions are different for all candidates since we moved to CBT (and honestly, who can recall the details + 4 choices of questions after doing the exam :-) ), is there really a requirement from GARP to not share any feedback until the full session is done? 1 week after...

    Portfolio UL

    hi @Randy Moon, just a small note to say that maybe it is good if you make reference to what you are looking at - it will help people trying to help you ? (study notes - which chapter and page or which practice question). As well, I think you can already find a lot of explanations on UL in the...

    ULC or Risk Contribution

    it is just derived from the formula for RCi, maybe if you take a pen and paper and replace the i and j by the actual components for that exercise, you will find it immediately. RC1= ULC1 = (UL1 * rho11/ULp + UL2 * rho12 / ULp) * UL1 = UL1 * (UL1 + UL2 * rho12) / ULp same for RC2 = UL2 * (UL2 +...

    COLLATERAL : Calculation of Credit Support Amount

    Thanks for your answer David. I now understand the sentence in yellow. We cannot have a net exposure that is smaller than the threshold. So if the new MtM - collateral is below the threshold, we are over protected and we have to post back some collateral to maintain our exposure at the threshold...

    COLLATERAL : Calculation of Credit Support Amount

    hi David, I am on that same example in the video review of Gregory, Chapter 7 Margin (collateral) and settlement. What I have troubles to understand is the sentence in yellow: I understand that out net exposure is the MtM - CSA = 848 920$ and it is currently below the threshold of 1 000...

    GARP.FRM.PQ.P1 Unexpected loss formula decipher

    hi @David Harper CFA FRM , I am currently reviewing T6-R9 and from your comment above, I understand formula 5.9 is wrong? If we consider a portfolio with 50% of asset i and 50% of asset j, the 2 formulas in the screenshot are not matching. or at least the notations UL_i and UL_j should refer...

    Exam Feedback July 2021 Part 1 Exam Feedback

    I have seen someone passing with a 50% score. I read somewhere that there might be a rule that sum of your quartiles must not be higher than 7 (not sure it is true) but in the case where you fall in 2nd quartile for the 4 topics, then sum = 8. edit: does not seem so true based on some feedbacks...

    Exam Feedback May 2021 Part 1 Exam Feedback

    I was considering the FAQ section from GARP where you see a split for May/July and November: but at the same time, people taking the exam in May got their results mid July and people taking the exam in July will get the results mid September... but, I am not too sure if it makes somehow a...
