A.8 Term Structure of Interest Rates and Inflation (2015) has been posted.
Recently, the SOA released 20 new interest theory problems and 12 new derivatives markets problems. These problems and the video solutions that we have made for them have now been added to the A.8 solutions and the B.7 solutions. The problems have also been added to the problem system for the 2014 lessons and the 2015 lessons.
A correction was made to the A7 handouts for the new (2015) lessons, specifically on page 37.
On that page, in slide 2 of lesson A.7.7, the word “coupon” was changed to “yield,” making the new sentence read: “When interest rates fall bond issuer can call bonds and issue new bonds at a lower yield rate.”
The 2015 version of A.7 Bonds and Other Securities is now available for your viewing pleasure.
The original plan for 2015 had section A10. Additional Topics in Finance with 3 lessons. I felt like these lessons really fit better in other sections. So I moved the first two lessons from that section to the A7. Bonds (and renamed it A7. Bonds and Other Securities) and took the last lesson and moved it to A8. Term Structure of Interest Rates (and renamed it A8. Term Structure of Interest Rates and Inflation). I have uploaded a new map on the “Intro to FM” lesson (the very first lesson of the seminar). Sorry for the confusion.
A7 is scheduled for release on Monday March 15th. Unfortunately I have the flu. I feel okay, but I can’t speak a sentence without coughing. Obviously that makes it tough to record lessons. Hopefully I will be better in a day or two. This might delay A7 by a day or two. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I’ve added 4 lessons to the A.6 Amortization Schedule and Sinking Funds section of the 2015 tab.
I had a .aux file in the A2 handouts instead of the formula PDF. I have fixed the download.
