Series 82: 3.4.3.1.7. Currency Risk

Taken from our Series 82 Online Guide

3.4.3.1.7. Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that an investment in a foreign security may lose its value due to a strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the foreign country’s currency. For example, imagine that you invest in a Japanese security that is trading on a Japanese exchange. If the dollar strengthens against the Japanese yen, you will get fewer American dollars when you sell your Japanese security. An investor can buy puts against the Japanese yen to protect herself against currency risk.

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

Thank you, Jeremy, and the Solomon Exam Prep team for your tremendous support - just passed Series 82 on my first try. Jeremy - your magnificent support was invaluable - right from the random "cold" query, via your website, in December down to the personalised care and coaching I received during my prep. Couldn't have nailed this without you & the team.

Shilpa Mathai, Applied Capital, Indianapolis IN

I found the (Series 82) material from Solomon superior to the other major providers of these types of study guides. The online testing was also quite good and I loved the range of options (half tests, half tests with answers, full tests, etc.). Starting with half test with answers and working my way to full tests without answers built my confidence. Also, their customer service is second to none. If I had a question about the test, my email was answered within the day, as opposed to most companies, which is never. Thanks so much!

Jackson Stith, SyndiGate Capital. Miami, FL

The Solomon Exam Prep materials for the Series 82 were great. I felt very well prepared for the exam. I only studied for one full week (probably about 40 hours) and completed the exam in 30 minutes and passed! Thrilled with the results.

Jessica Kates, Carnegie Growth Partners LLC. Philadelphia, PA

I passed the 82 and 63 within a few months coming from no financial background. The exam simulator is fantastic and has a large pool of questions.

Taylor Hawks, Maraboyina Capital. Dallas, TX

After a lengthy absence from the securities industry, I again needed to get licensed. With the great help of Solomon, I did the SIE, Series 7, Series 63, and Series 82, in just over 5 months. The materials are comprehensive and I would recommend reading it all at least twice. Have realistic goals and meet them. Don't take too many days off as the quicker you learn the material the less likely your are to forget the initial stuff. I found the "Ask the Professor" feature to be particularly helpful (and responsive!). I hope I don't need further exams any time soon but, if I do, I will use Solomon.

Your team did it again. I passed my 63 today, less than two weeks after the 82!!! Your study system is perfect, and your practice questions do an amazing job preparing for the exam. If you're not an investment advisor, feel free to use this testimonial on your website!!!!
