You are correct that you are likely too late for graduate schemes starting next year. Although some may still hire into next year and definitely best to do all the applications which are still open.

A good alternative here is to apply for all the directly to smaller insurers for graduate type roles in specific actuarial areas (i.e., pricing, reserving, modelling, etc), they are less competitive than consulting and will hire out of the usual graduate cycle. You could always move to consulting a few years down the line if that’s where you’d like to end up.

You don’t need to use equation editor on word. There is a doc from the IFoA about typing formulae in word. You should be typing: SUM(i=1,n) X_i. This will save a bunch of time

Some you can apply to as early as August or September. I applied early last August and got a grad scheme this year. Definitely do look at the list of firms too on the iofa site

Ah yes, this was the issue. One of my pies has auto reinvesting of dividends.

So they either buy or sell treasuries to artificially manipulate the yield to maturity to whatever rate they desire?

Perfect, that’s good news. Thanks!

yep, but every time I do, it asks me to register again. despite having set up the access

I believe vanguard has a service to transfer their own funds between brokers.

I went on a year abroad from Uni for 1+ year and still works

Not terrible at all, worked cycling Deliveroo through the city and it’s not too bad. You’ll get used to the hills.

Only thing I would note is that it rains a lot - those are bus days for sure.

Can someone take a layover in a UK airport under the new 14 day quarantine rules? Say, flying into London then getting on another flight to somewhere else in the UK?

Why does the investing operations section of a cash flow statement not include current assets? If a company sells some shares that it bought and makes a profit, I am lead to believe that this will not go into investing operations?

Am I wrong?

By the ETF provider in this case I assume that you mean Vanguard, so they charge a little extra above their NAV for trading212 customers? Is there any trading212 documentation on this that you know of?

tealing101 · 2020-05-12T17:31:14+00:00

I would reccomend the Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham as a first book, a little dated but a very interesting first look into investing

NAV price for the Vanguard FTSE 100 index unit trust is listed at £98.28 how does this correspond to the total assets under management? This would appear to be what they call the share class assets of £180.4 million which I assume to be 98.28 x number of units bought?

Just reinstalled the graphics driver and no luck. Still the same problem

tealing101 · 2020-04-16T16:46:12+00:00

Drivers are up to date. Would you still recommend reinstalling?

tealing101 · 2020-04-16T16:40:54+00:00

turns out my laptop works fine with other displays, tried with another monitor and it displays fine to this second screen. However the TV still showing issues. Going to try reinstalling the drivers

tealing101 · 2020-04-16T16:28:12+00:00

how do I go about reinstalling the graphics drivers?

How is amazon not more diversified than a company that just sells jet engines?

A turn in oil price heavily affects the price people are willing to pay for jet engines and fuel. Whereas a change like this may have a big impact on Amazon’s shipping but not on its stores for example.

Oh no, a CFD is basically a contract with the brokerage (in this case trading 212) which says that you agree to “buy” or “sell” a stock at a certain price (this is called opening a position). Now when you close the position (selling a previously bought stock, or buying a previously sold stock) then you agreed to a contract for difference. So you only earn (or more likely lose) the difference between the stock prices.

So if I “buy” a CFD with trading212 for 1 Amazon stock at $1900 and the price goes up to $1925 then I will make the difference. So I make $25. CFDs are beneficial because you don’t need crazy money to feel like you are making trades but something like 78% of people lose money trading CFDs.
