Hello everyone on the thread,

I think I have a slightly diff query which is that how much of the course is same between PRM & FRM & is it possible to prepare for both simultaneously.

Those who have given both exams pls reply.
I m not 100% sure of getting thru FRM but will need some risk certification on the cv for placements so thought of attempting both xams

Guidance needed........

Its wiser to focus on just on exam instead of two - FRM exam u will need to attempt once in a year (twice in a year starting 2010).

PRM exam can be given on any working day of the year.

Both FRM and PRM are widely recognised as amongst the best certifications for Risk Management, so shouldnt matter if u have both FRM and PRM or u have one amongst them

Shyam !!!

Hi,

Investment Banks in the past used to recruit talented guys and gals from Sports to Social Sciences and from Technology to Music

But the recent downturn will force them to rethink their hiring strategies

your term Investment Banking??? is not clear and it means different things

It can either mean u want to work with an Investment Bank(that will have Tech, Fin, Ops,Research teams) or it can also mean u want to work with the Investment Banking Division (IBD) of an Investment Banking

Yes with ur CS u can definitely get into an Investment Bank

But u will need to have an MBA from a Premier Business School to get into the Investment Banking Division of a Premier Investment Bank

The functions of a CS and FRM executive are not complementary, FRM wont help you if you want to be a Chartered Secretary (A CS performs a more holistic function in running the company rather than an FRM who will just focus on Derivatives, trading and others...)

Out of FRM and CFA

a CS + CFA is a better combination any day as CFA course also focuses on Economics, FSA, Corp Fin & Ethics(A major part) - which the FRM course doesnt (Ethics has been included starting this year)

Cheers,
Shyam

Hi,
I am currently pursuing my MBA (2nd year). I am considering giving FRM 2009. However I am a little concerned about whether I would be able to make it considering I have only 3 months left.
I saw the course content, and I've done half of FRM L1 in my first year MBA. Remaining FRM L2 i would be covering in my 2nd year of MBA.

However, the L2 portion of FRM course concerns me...t would be totally new to me and I worried how heavy it would be?

Can anybody guide me on that ?

Also...what all material I would get as part of the registration ? as in do we get any books/study material/handbook?

[cat=chimera]

MBA(Fin) second year. Very late in prep(will start in a day /two) :( , Schweser expected in a day, L1 (havent registered yet), Most of September will be gone in projects/assignemnts/exams.... October would be completely free...

Does it make any sense to go ahead n register now? Experts please suggest ...

To be very frank, not much sense registering now atleast for Full Exam. FRM exam is very comprehensive & the syllabus is huge also considering the fact that as bskoolers we r not exposed to 70% of the syllabus of it..

So, i believe u better go for L1 in Nov or May'10. Though this is a personal opinion.

Any specific Queries u can ask..
