Financial Risk Manager [FRM] by GARP

zimmer7 · April 23, 2008, 10:48am

HI Zimmer,

Welcome to PG

Me from a BMS Background, and will be giving the FRM exam this year.

For Quant Risk - People of Engineering Background, Statistics, Economics(Econometrics to be precise) will have the most benefits

For Market Risk - People of MBA Finance who are already done with Hull, will have the maximum benefits.

Rest of the course will be on similar lines for all.

Since you already work in Treasury and Financial Control functions, you may be familiar with many of the concepts required in the exam.

Starting in July will be a bit late, To gauge yourself - You can start off reading Hull and Jorion - FRM Handbook. If you find all these comfortable, the you are fit for the exam.

cheers,

Shyam

Hey shyam,

Really appreciate your help.

Cheers

Dear All,

I have been getting many requests on for inclusion into the Schweser & Core Readings Contribution Group.

Last Sunday, I had been to Laxmi Xerox Centre, and they said Schweser 2008 FRM notes will be available from 25th April. Once the notes hits Laxmi Xerox, I will go and have a review of the notes.

So lets wait for a few more days. I will keep you all updated on the same

cheers

Shyam

Hi Mansoor, Welcome to PG and specially FRM Thread :D
I would only like to suggest that its good that you took this initiative to clarify certain points officially, but I guess it will be much better if you can also get acknowledgment for all this from PagalGuy Head quarters, Mumbai :)
Try messaging (personnal, PM)your number and relevant information to Apurv or estranged_gnrs as mostly all activities involving coaching/marketing are routed through head quarters only.
And meanwhile please remove your cell phone number by editing your posts as you can see PG is a highly moderated forum and thats its major USP too.

Once Again

HI guys,
To clear out a little confusion about core reading availability i would like to tell u that i have bought set of core readings from Laxmi Xerox in Mumbai and not a single page is missing as Mansoor said earlier in this threaad but Laxmi is still to deliver me one last book and he said he will do it in a week.
mansoor i hope that u guys stick to ur words and i recieve my last book i.e book 5 soon.

Also, Shyam and Girish i am still in for scheweser pool..
Regards
Rahul

Hello All,

The Official Man is here MANSUR - Laxmi Xerox Representative

Seems like he has solved our problem of Core Readings. He has managed to collect all the Materials of Core Readings(Including Gujarati)

Will go to the shop in a day or two and check out the Notes firsthand.

Will also explain to him the Missing Notes of Schweser Essential Solutions.

If things workout properly, we can directly buy Notes from Laxmi Xerox.

cheers,

Shyam

Hi friends,

I have been going through the forum for many days and the quality of disussion has been of immense help. I need help of the junta to this problem.

I am trying to pay up the fees for FRM exam and facing a lot of problems. Tried to pay the entire $550 dollars and the transaction was not going through. Then, I tried to pay $150 for the Individual Membership, after repeated trials the transaction was finally successful.

Now when I try to register for exam through, GARP member candidate link which is for Individual members, it again asks me to pay $550. I m really confused, wrote a mail to GARP but they say they will get back within 48 hours.

Please Please help me as the 30th april deadline is fast approaching and I dont wanna shell out some extra bucks.

To be honest I wonder what kind of help someone can offer here as we al are aspirants ourselves. So better try contacting them on phone as some 100 bucks is nothing to get a clear picture on 20,000 plus transaction.:)
I still have to initiate the process of registration but would like to get some clarification on the membership fees as read somewhere on this thread that they will deduct some annual membership fees every year??:-| Is this mandatory, as I doubt if there are any serious benefits involved against the same.

ravideepyadav · April 27, 2008, 5:36pm

Can anyone provide me the details of how to register in FRM GARP. Thanks

ssu039 · April 27, 2008, 8:07pm

Hi,

First of all, check with ur Credit Card provider the charges that has been levied on ur credit card. I believe that there might have been multiple transactions. Make a note of the same

150 USD is only membership fee, u shouldnt have paid this fee alone. A fresh candidate has to mandatorily pay 550 USD to register for the exam

Rush ur Queries at the GARP Helpdesk regarding for any trouble in processing the payment (Make sure that u check if there has been any payment made on ur credit card)

cheers,

Shyam
