Cash & Carry, you are also short (borrow) the value of the spot at RF rate. Right?

Right? sorry, i just meant really which is CC and which is reverse? CC is short future, long spot and borrow money. have to check the exact math. then reverse CC is long future, and the opposite of the rest.
Hedge return = -%hedged*currency change Cash duration = not always 0.25 PE and RE - benchmark is not a requirement 3 scenarios under which market value of commodity swap changes MPSR Put strike price + put price = effective conversion rate Rl+(f-s)/s even is IRP does not hold

3 scenarios - rate changes, forward prices change and overpayment/underpayment (value to one party in either case) PE and RE, book says “if they present” otherwise just disclose the reason why no benchmark. Please double check. You have a put strike is $0.90/euro and price of put is 0.10. Basically you are paying $1 for 1 euro (effective rate)
Is that inflation before tax calculation explicitly written in the CFAI text? Some of the older exams have the pretax gross up calculation first then add inflation

For private and company sponsored foundation the minimum spending rate is 5 percent so if they give you anything less then that you have to use 5 percent!
Retain your records for the higher of the legal minimum and whatever CFA code/standards you’re concerned with: …SIX years under the asset management code of conduct …SEVEN years under the CFA Standards. (CFA Vol 1 p.88 and 211)
Remember to read the wording VERY carefully in Ethics / GIPS questions. I noticed the Mock (and even L2 questions) ask either… “Are the actions in compliance with the requirements of…” while others ask “Are the actions in compliance with the requirements and recommendations of…” Easy to miss “recommendations” if you’re just looking for the word requirements.

^yes they do
no, i mean where?
dont have it open because im in shutdown mode but the section on interest rate options - reading 43? Right after equity option strategies
ok - im also in that mode, but this will bother me if i dont look at it. thanks for the info

I think thats just standard practice You have an example of this?
no example on hand. hopefully no questions on FRA.
