Hi,

I am currently doing MSC FINANCE from UK. Just finished my dissertation. Now i have time to prepare for FRM. Just wanted to ask, am i too late. how many hrs of study one needs to do for passing FRM. I have already dished out lot of money of my parents, dont want to waste further by just appearing in FRM with less chance of passing. please advice. I have no prior experience of financial risk management.

Dont waste your time on anything apart from Core Reading for Credit Derivatives section. Its easy to get and comprehensive like Hull is. So just go ahead with the chapters by Meissner. Its really good. I dint care to look up at Schweser for this whole section.

Well Foobar, I have not yet come to that section of Credit Derivatives but after looking at it, I have decided to do it from Hull 6th Ed. Hope it will be okay if I do it from there, since I don't have the core readings. Let me know your take on it please !

Dude....why dont you start posting the basics here itself....won't it be a good way when ppl can ask you and solve their doubts? It will make this thread more meaningful if you contribute. Give it a thought please.

I haven't started the Credit Derivatives section so don't know about the content and structure of the material.
But from what i have read till now from the posts the schwser material is good for the basics but does not go on to explain the topics in detail.
So if someone stumbles over a particular topic and finds the explanations given to be insufficient I can try and help .

Tumtum,
I have no idea about Hull watsoever. I am stickin to Schweser/Core for everything n thats it. But I think its given pretty well in the chapters in Core. I personally found it to be v well structured and to the point and easy to come by. I would highly recommend you to do it from Core. But again I dont know how it would be like in Hull. I would say go for Core for this section. Its complete in itself in there.

If you repeatedly post the same links then it does tantamount to advertising. In this case you have posted these links again and again. Once is enough I think madam. What do you say?

Securitization Chapter in Credit Risk
Hi people. I need some help here. The notes from Laxmi Xerox for Core Material did not include this chapter by Christopher Culp. GARP hadnt started to give out these from the time Laxmi started making copies out of it and had mentioned that paid members would get their online copies of the same later. I am not yet a paid member with GARP.
Can any of you who is a registered FRM 07 candidate share with me this particular Securitization chapter? Tumtum are you a registered member as yet?
