SIE: 5.1.1.2.8. Reinvestment Risk

Taken from our SIE Online Guide

5.1.1.2.8. Reinvestment Risk

Reinvestment risk is the risk that interest earned from a bond cannot be reinvested at an interest rate equal to or higher than the coupon rate of the bond. When interest rates fall, an investor will have to reinvest the interest at the lower rate. Zero coupon bonds have no reinvestment risk because they have no periodic coupon payments. As discussed above, bonds that are callable are particularly exposed to interest rate risk. When interest rates decline, issuers may decide to reduce their interest payments by issuing new bonds at a lower rate and using the funds to call their callable bonds.

The materials for the SIE were very well organized and presented. The study guide is comprehensive and easy to understand. Beyond that what I found the most valuable were the practice exams particularly the detailed explanations after each set of answers. There are so many hidden gems in there be sure to scroll down so as not to miss that information. We done Solomon Prep!

Within a few months, I passed the SIE, Series 7, 63, 65, & 79 exams all on the first try using Solomon Exam Prep. This material will prepare you for the actual exam. I will say in many instances the practice exams are more difficult than the actual exam. Solomon and the various tracking metrics will more than help you prepare for the rigors of exam day. I highly recommend the practice exams and ability to dive back in to review weak areas. I will continue to use their products and services in the future.

I passed my SIE exam the first time. Great tools and exam simulators, if you study the entire guide and take enough practice exams before your exam there's no reason why you wouldn't pass!

I studied for both the SIE and the Series 99 with Solomon. Both texts more than prepared me for the exam. The practice questions in particular were extremely helpful and were even a bit more challenging than the actual exams. After reading and annotating both textbooks twice and taking each quiz multiple times to the point that I received high scores on each, I was confident taking the exam. Although there were a few questions here and there on the exams that seemed to be outside the scope of the material and had some differently worded questions, the quiz questions were quite in line with the actual exam. I passed both exams my first try. I highly recommend Solomon study material.

I got my undergrad degree in musical theater, never having studied or practiced anything regarding securities. I've been working as an actor over the last 10 years, and figured the Covid-19 quarantine presented an opportunity to learn something new. Solomon took me from knowing NOTHING about securities to passing the SIE on the FIRST TRY! I finished in under an hour and felt extremely confident about the entire test. I read every chapter twice, watched all the video tutorials, listened to the audiobook while driving, and took a large amount of practice exams. Do this - and you will be over prepared - I promise. I will absolutely be using Solomon again for any top-off exams!

PASSED SIE ON MY FIRST TRY!! Initially started with a competitor but I was referred to study through Solomon instead. After comparing the two, I stuck to Solomon for 6 weeks straight. The material and practice q’s gave me a better understanding and helped me prepare for the actual exam. Thank you!!
