Financial Risk Manager [FRM] by Global Association of Risk Professionals [GARP] -
07-08-2006, 02:00 PM
Hello friends !
FRM exam has evolved into a very comprehensive and a globally respected risk management qualification by now since its inception 10 years ago.
It holds its examination once a year in November and I am looking at the November 2007 exam. I do intend to pursue the program and appear in November 2007.
This thread therefore is intended to discuss out all issues relating to FRM exam and also for sharing information/study tips and reading materials of Schweser....basically pooling resources in a way that benefits all the exam takers.
FRM was being discussed in the CFA thread also but I think its better to keep that thread exclusively for CFA discussions. Hence I have created this thread.
Feel free to pour in your thoughts.
Regards.
PS: This is no attempt to advertize the qualification. Mods please take notice.

Dear Sandeep.
There is only ONE exam for FRM...there are no "levels" in the program as such.
Secondly, Schweser does not provide notes for CFA only.
It provides notes for FRM too and Ashish is talking about those notes. Not the CFA notes.
Regards,
Tumtum

Benefits...knowledge, an international brand recognition, potential networking opportunities leading to better profile jobs....a wholesome focus on your career.....the list is endless as I am finding in my journey to becoming an FRM.

Amardeep…the reasons for me are pretty simple. I am an analyst and I track the Industrials Sector (a lot of sub-industries in the sector such as Transportation, Air Freight & Logistics, Commercial Services & Supplies, Machinery and Building Materials etc etc) and frankly speaking…it gives you a lot of knowledge about various industries, intricacies of valuing different companies in different industries and the kind of business practices followed in each industry etc and I am doing my job pretty well. In fact I have studied for all this and it comes in handy too BUT BUT BUT…..this is not what I want to be doing all my life…analyzing that is !!
I don’t want to end-up as an analyst whole my life! I don’t want to be a data processing machine who makes sense out of numbers all my life and more so….I feel suffocated at times because if you are an analyst in a back-end set-up, you are just nothing more….being an analyst, you are NOT MANAGING things…you are NOT involved in DECISION MAKING…you are not doing a lot of things that others who are in management are doing !!!
Now looking at my profile, I would love to be in touch with the financial markets, with banking etc but then I don’t want to lick-up balance sheets and income statements all the time and report it to someone else. I want to be where action is and clearly, it lies in managing things and in making decisions….not merely analyzing them and reporting them.
When I mix all these needs, I get the feeling that the kind of work I need to do is something different….I have my cousins graduating from the top league b-schools ( they gave me an idea about risk management) and from my past 2 years work experience, I have come to know that my interests lie in risk management, Basel II consulting, treasury, trading…such front end fields.
Since I have already gained quite a decent amount of knowledge in different industries, I feel that I should leverage this and ALONGSIDE, I should also upgrade my quant skills and do some systematic study of the technicalities in risk management. Though no program/curriculum/course can directly teach you that, I found the FRM course most suited to my needs.
In other words, I am looking at a gradual career shift from research to risk management and from back-end to front end. Thought FRM does not guarantee that, I know that it is very well respected an accepted as a mark of achievement in that field. It may just grant me an entry to that profession, which I think I need.
Hence I am pursuing this program. Hope you got your answer my friend.
