    My lecturer said swaps will unlikely come out this sitting. Pls guess how the hedging question will look like? Should be around 30 marks.

    Currency hedging can be futures and options. I won’t study swaps.
    My lecturer said currency and int rate hedging can come out together.
    I just want to know any more specific areas, especially written part.

    not asking you for msn. 😛

    i am attending kaplan. yes, sami is your lecturer.

    esther suspect the risk mgmt topic written by the examiner may come out. it can come out with overseas npv and how you mitigate the risk by investing in overseas subsidiary.

    luckily i good in currency and interest hedging. used to attend sami class last round.

    BSOP question will come out for section b.

    i had overan the question 1 in 1.5 hours… not enough time to do rest the questions.

    the jun paper look weird and difficult, but in actual fact, it is reasonable paper.

    time allocation is more important.

    you mean type 1 or 2 acquisition for question 1.

    Should be investment appraisal for Q1, Sami thinks M&A/restructuring should be in section B, be prepared for transfer pricing, bond valuation, and portfolio theory also for section B.
    I hope this sitting can be much easier as next round will change syllabus.

    I do hope this siting is reasonable paper that we can attempt most questions in 3 hours.

    Esther from Kaplan actually comment next round should be ok. Only the section b will increase to 25 each…

    in the question, receipt US 20m in 4 month time, using futures hedge.

    So the method should buy (long) the futures. However, the result of the 4 month predict rate is worse than the 4 month forward rate. Therefore we dont do the futures hedge.

    ** I have a question about this, why i should long the futures because the exchange rate likely linear going up 2 month expiry at 1.3633, and 5 month expirty at 1.3698.

    Can i use speculation view ,buy the future contract now (spot rate 1.3618, assume : 1,3625 (1.3633-1.3618)/2 + 1.3625 and sell in the 5 months, then i can make profit .

    thank you very much
