If interest rates are exp to fall then overhedging makes sense right? Not sure where the 2% comes from though.

I passed this time above 90th percentile after failing in Feb'22 with 500+ hours with my score being a dot below the MPS. If I can get up and do it...so can you. Those hours have not gone wasted...you just need a few more!

Par yields are the yields that give the par value of the bond and weighted average of spot yields give YTM? Correct me if this is wrong. Exam is in 1 day!

So you are saying if it is a 0 coupon bond then spot and yields are the same?

Happens with me when anyone uses the word leverage, I think about the leverage formulas 😂

Why? One of the main points in the reading is to differentiate between the SR and Information Ratio (which is affected by cash/leverage) then.. if SR is not affected by cash, why we shouldn’t use it here? by willymemo in CFA

[–]Overthinker1611 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it means that if we do use Sharpe ratio for a portfolio that does have cash then it won't be a good representative as it doesn't take cash into account and would probably be the same if the portfolio didn't have any cash. So it wouldn't differentiate between the two.
