    Hi John,
    What is the portfolio theory , as described on the syllabus changes.

    Also, just wondering what areas should covered in relation to the Treasury Function?

    Portfolio theory is described in section 3 of Chapter 20 of our Course Notes. You cannot be asked calculations in Paper F9 – just the idea of it (and the explanation of systematic and unsystematic risk).

    The treasury function really comprises three things – the management of short-term cash, the raising of long-term finance, and the management of foreign exchange risk. I did not bother writing a new chapter on this because each of them are covered separately in the Course Notes.

    Hope that all makes sense 🙂
