Institutional bet

Anyone else thinking Insurance or Banks most likely to be tested this time for a change ?

The most likely tested topic is calculating pension PBO in GAAP and in IFRS.

As likely as being asked to derive the price to book value ratio ehh

Rumor has it that calculating option prices using BSM will also be in the exam :grin:

No. I think there’s almost no chance of Banks or Insurance being tested on the AM. I’ve been seeing a lot of gambler’s fallacy floating around here regarding that topic. I think it’s clear at this point that they prefer not to test these institutions in the AM. They COULD be tested this year, but I still don’t think there’s a significant chance of it happening, and prep time is best used on pensions/foundations/endowments

Nope

Not much to know with either of them so dont sweat it
