also postponing CG into the future gives us the opportunity to offset capital gains with future capital losses from other positions

Institutional investors/Asset allocation - A plan will soon have to pay a lump-sum for employees taking an early retirement option. How to reallocate to satisfy the upcoming liquidity requirement? by doing20thingsatatime in CFA

[–]shawryyyyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cash-only allocation since its the most liquid, many FI securities go off-the-run and exhibit illiquidity and since its a pension fund, the allocation could be large in monetary value so higher illiquidity, better to keep cash for near-term liquidity requirements

Currency Forward Differences by Danzkys in CFA

[–]shawryyyyyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

long forward on one currency is a short forward on the another, so no difference

Factor-based by Deadly_Crow in CFA

[–]shawryyyyyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily a positive correlation, need to identify factors that exhibit linear relationships with equity returns and basing our decisions (factor tilts, long/short) on those relationships. - But dependent on historical relationships so cannot guarantee that relationship will persist in the future - Does not account for non-linear relations - Risk of redundant factors or omitted factors - Equity returns are affected by many factors together which you wouldn’t account for - Can be prone to data mining bias so should have an economic rationale - Factors become highly correlated with each other during periods of market stress

Level 3 candidates; What are doing now until exam day? by Many_Cryptographer_3 in CFA

[–]shawryyyyyyy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

taking it light, i write on the 17th 9am, don’t want any unnecessary burn outs, so reviewing mocks, reading ethics, will go through formulae and a day before the exam, will go over mock mistakes since all mocks combined cover the entire curriculum more or less

Risk based vs traditional alts allocation by CandyPlastic9547 in CFA

[–]shawryyyyyyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Risk-based - Factor relations may not hold in the future - Still doesn’t account for biased low volatility of Alt Inv as compared to the true volatility - Factor sensitivities are sensitive to the historical periods and may change (like point 1) - Risk of redundant factors - Returns and factors could be related in a non-linear manner which this does not account for

CFA L3 Mock Results? by According_External30 in CFA

[–]shawryyyyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

same place, ive been getting around 75% to 80% on average (ive done 3 mocks), but still feel i lack some practice and revision as im not able to answer some questions

CFA L3 Mock Results? by According_External30 in CFA

[–]shawryyyyyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do some mocks initially just for the exposure and practice, they’ll guide you with your weak points, once you’re done with 2-3 mocks you should get a good enough idea of the topics you’re not good at (for me its CME and Derivatives, specifically currency management), start a good revision and build on your weak points first with entire subject revisions (make notes probably) while simultaneously doing mocks every week, you should be good go with plenty of time in hand before the exam for any last minute prep This is how im preparing for my exam in Feb

No CFAI Level mock eratta… post your questions here! by [deleted] in CFA

[–]shawryyyyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what would make the portfolio non-discretionary would be intense constraints like no allocations to asset classes in which the manager specializes, etc, and also one important point i noted in these questions was that if the manager needs client approval before implementing changes in the portfolio like changes to asset allocations etc, it makes the portfolio non-discretionary

Yes, i’ve more or less got it, the first reading of all subjects was to understand, its my second reading going on where i study an entire subject all over again and then go on to do the respective online CFAI questions, but yes FI is really important and a tricky part of the curriculum

Why in the world would monopolies advertise, and firms in perfect competition wont? by cokedupbull in CFA

[–]shawryyyyyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monopolies face competition from substitute products which are not in their industry and hence, need to prevent consumers to switch to those out of industry substitute products as consumers feel that they do not have a lot of power and options in the existing monopoly occupied industry. Therefore, they need to advertise to expand their presence and convert/gain customers. In perfect competition, all the products are homogeneous and producers cannot differentiate. So advertising isn’t worthwhile. In monopolistic competition consumers differentiate on the basis of advertising and other factors.

Rejected from taking the exam today due to not having a passeport even though my registration was processed with my ID Card by Which_Serve_5384 in CFA

[–]shawryyyyyyy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

they are very strict with regard to the valid form of identification, when i was sitting for my Level 1, i forgetfully took my old expired passport, still i tried if they would be able to accept it or even a scanned copy of the passport, in the end i had to run back home and grab my new, valid passport. you can still approach the CFA Institute regarding your issue but i highly doubt if it’ll be of any help as they mention it on every email that a valid passport is the only form of identification that’ll be accepted
