Fall 2019 Updates

Hello QFI PM Students,

We posted a few updates to the course and wanted to document them below:

1) Upgraded Materials for MIM Ch 10. We take a continual improvement approach to our seminars, and wanted to take the time to provide more detailed materials for this lesson. The updated materials include a new detailed study manual, video series, and flashcards. There are now also explicit materials for the appendix section of this reading too. We added 7 new flashcards for this reading which are in the latest flashcard set (620 total).

2) Formula Sheet Review Video Series. We just posted a formula sheet review video series, so definitely make sure to check it out! Also make sure to check out the intro video for the formula sheet review video series for our general comments and thoughts about the formula sheet.

3) Flashcards. As mentioned in (1), there were 7 flashcards added. The total went from 613 to 620. Besides adding the 7 new flashcards, we also fixed the ‘List two main risks of pension liabilities’ flashcard for QFIP-141.

4) TIA QFI PM PE #2. The solution for 16(c) was updated to state that as a risk metric, convexity also captures cashflows from embedded options

At this point, we don’t anticipate making any material changes to the TIA QFI PM course before exam day. Good luck on the exam and thanks for choosing TIA!

Thanks,
Zak & Ken

Fall 2018 QFIA Formula Sheet Posted!

The SOA just released the formula sheet for the Fall 2018 sitting. Feel free to download it in the “Introduction” tab of the seminar.

Also, for reference, there were no substantive changes to the formula sheet, and the SOA updated the header to reference the Fall 2018 / Spring 2019 sittings.
