What do you guys think of the following abbreviations:
1m - 100k = 900k
2 + .5 = 2.5%
$3 / ( 5% - 2% ) = 100
Client req 5.3%
avg risk tol, low risk taking ability
low liq needs
long time hrz
no spcl consid
no legal consid
tax rate 35%
Strat is short eqty long FI.
Premium based risk measures underest risk bc derivs low premium high risk.
Large cap vol < small cap vol
Entrprise Risk mgmt importnt bc …
opt asset alloc > 1/n divrs.
rates incr/decr results in curr depr/apprec
AA : asset allocation
EF: efficient frontier
RM: risk mgmt
PM: portfolio mgmt
 
No. Consider the fact that an essay may require you to write that your client is seeking a strategic AA because they fell off the EF, as well as RM and PM issues.
 
if oyu think about wiriting essays on the am section you will most likely fail. use short sentences and bullet points

“ok i think”
Strat is short eqty long FI.
“what the FUck is eqty and FI”…again what ur standard and does it follow the norm? i dunno since im way rusty in this
Premium based risk measures underest risk bc derivs low premium high risk.

“u made me type 8 “what the F”(s)…..and this is the 9th “what the FUCK!”…divrs??…opt?? opt is a word, u know? opt = optimum? optional? ……c’mon man………even if u had a standard at least try to make it clear and easy on the marker…..u r at their mercy……..period
rates incr/decr results in curr depr/apprec

Regarding responses in AM, i find it pretty hard to evaluate whether i wrote enough or not.
Example: 5 Portfolios are given and you have to choose the one, that fits the investor best and to give a reason why the others are not appropriate. Is it enough to write:
“Lower Sharpe Ratio than Portfolio A”
or do i have to write:
“B has a lower Sharpe Ratio (0,5) than A (0,8): (10%-6%) / 8% = 0,5”

I think that the first version is enough.
Maybe someone who passed can confirm that?

maybe do ur workings around the area? do not have to write out the workings again and just directly use the 0.5 and 0.8 to justify ur answers.

I’ll sometimes write (2 + .5)% = 2.5% in my mocks. Would that be OK?
For 2 terms, it may not be worth it but if you have:
(1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5)% = 15%
It’s a lot shorter and conveys the same message than writing out the percent signs by hand:
1% + 2% + 3% + 4% + 5% = 15%
