4.1.1.6.6. Index Options

Rather than base an option on a single underlying stock, investors may choose to invest in an option on an index of stocks or other securities. Index funds can be broad-based, for example, tracking the S&P 500, or narrow-based, reflecting the performance of a particular segment of the market, such as health care or energy.

Index options may be used to hedge against market risk. If an investor has a portfolio of equities and wants to hedge against a stock market decline, he can buy a put on the S&P 500 index. If the

I passed after two and a half weeks of studying for the SIE. I am an industry veteran, though have been out of the securities business for over 10 years. It was really the logic of the exam simulator process and repetition that did the trick.
The exercises and exam simulator were brilliant! Forward and onward to Series 82!

Solomon Exam Prep was very thorough and prepared me not only for the SIE, but the practice questions were so in-depth I now feel prepared for the Series-7 top-off as well.

Steven Laesser, Raymond James, Saint Petersburg, FL

I passed the SIE with the help of the practice exams from this course. The practice exams from this course seemed a bit needlessly difficult compared to the actual exam I took. While it prepared me well, it caused a lot of unnecessary stress. Don’t over do it on the practice exams.

Thank you, Solomon! I passed the SIE and am now working on Series 7. Coming from a background outside of Wealth Management and Finance, I found this material very user friendly. I regularly used the iPhone app as well as the online material, followed the study guide and took A LOT of practice tests. I am grateful for the team at Solomon with a special call out to Madi B and Jeremy S who gave me additional support whenever I needed it. I look forward to the Series 7 content as I was very impressed with the SIE content.

Jeremy Johnson, RBC Wealth Management. Green Bay, WI

Thank you so much Solomon Prep for helping me to be able to successfully pass all three of my exams (SIE, Series 7 and Series 66) in a relatively short period of time. The exam packages were excellent! I will continue to refer people to your amazing program!

Jessica Macci, Goldman Sachs. Albany, NY

What an excellent resource! I passed my SIE Exam on my first try and Solomon Exam Prep did an excellent job preparing me for the test. I would highly recommend purchasing the study guide, video lectures, and the exam simulator. The exam simulator is especially helpful. As long as you are scoring consistently in the mid to high seventies on the timed practice exams, you will have no problem with the actual exam. Thank you again to Solomon!
