Series 65: Systematic And Unsystematic Risk

Taken from our Series 65 Online Guide

Systematic and Unsystematic Risk

A portfolio of securities will be susceptible to both systematic and unsystematic risk. Systematic risk is the risk that the entire market will drop, dragging with it the performance of an individual stock or portfolio. Systematic risk is also referred to as market risk. If the performance of a portfolio drops due to systematic risk, it has dropped because the whole market has dropped, not because of the performance of the specific companies within the portfolio.

Unsystematic risk is the risk that the value of the specific securities within the portfolio will decline due to factors specific to the companies issuing the security (e.g., a decline in the company’s Standard & Poor’s rating). The amount of unsystematic risk in a portfolio depends on the number of securities in the portfolio and the corr

I passed the exam (Series 65) on the first try only using your study prep. Worked great for me!

Michael Carmody Brentwood, TN

I passed the series 65! I used the Solomon exam prep Material to take the series 65. I had previously used the Kaplan material and did not find the materials to be that good. The book, audio tape and exam question bank were amazing. It was hard to go to the center wearing a mask during this Coronavirus time period. I don’t think I would’ve passed this Series 65 without Solomon. Thank you

Thanks again for all your help. Loved the study materials and the book was very well written and easy to read. [Series 65]

I passed the Series 65 exam on my first attempt. Your practice exams really helped. Thanks again.

I have used other providers in the past for the 62 and decided to try something new this time due to passing that by a thin margin out of luck. I passed the 65 first try with an 88% all thanks to Solomon Exam Prep and its effective 5-week program. The book is thorough and easy to follow and the endless question bank with detailed explanations ensures that you will never see a repeat and never have to worry about question memorization (which is CRITICAL when you are assessing how ready you are based off of practice tests). The quizzes and exams require a deeper level of understanding, unlike other providers that test you with elementary questions only to leave the actual exam to feel unpleasantly difficult. The practice quizzes provide a very convenient way to focus on your weak areas and the full simulation exams feel very much like the actual test and in my experience, made the real exam seem surprisingly easy. The practice questions also reinforce important test taking skills and taught me to approach questions in a more disciplined way than before. Finally, I gave the “ask the professor” function a try and they are VERY responsive and clearly have a passion for seeing their clients succeed. I couldn’t be happier with this program and even though you might hear about the other test prep companies more often, Solomon IS the most effective.

I took the Series 65 Exam and passed with a good score. Thank you for all the materials. I did have to put a lot of study time into it but with hard work, your materials and prayer I passed!
