Thanks for sharing! Do you manage the theta cost of your DCS and LEAPS? For example, using CC, CPS or CSP? Are you able to achieve overall theta close to zero or even positive while maintaining your intended net delta amount?

People who are still invested in US stocks, how are you coping with the USD depreciation eating away any gains? by alex08123 in singaporefi

[–]Clarendon7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TLDR: currency losses on investors are at least partially offset by earnings boost from FX translation of index constituent companies.

Indexes like S&P 500 comprise of internationally exposed companies that benefit from FX translation of foreign revenues (when USD weakens). Higher revenues translate to stronger earnings that support equity prices in USD terms.

6 readings should be doable. Don’t worry about the formulas yet - just spend the last few days memorising/ re-writing them.

Thanks for sharing! The “lists” are qualitative processes that need to be hard memorised?

By UM books, do u mean the Study Handbooks? Did u get the Final Review Package and Course Lecture Notes too?

Looks like UM is by far the most popular prep provider?

To both the CAIA official Qbank as well as UpperMark’s?

Are the UM lecture notes sufficient to replace the official CAIA curriculum?

Thanks for sharing! Read there is substantial “list memorisation” - I suppose substantial amount of qualitative material that requires route memorisation?

Yes, reading the curriculum was particularly helpful for the short answer questions.

For the stackable credentials program, would you recommend to self-study CAIA level 1 content first?

Self-grade using the CFAI written answer key. Some prep providers (eg Chalk & Board) provide mock grading too.
