Series 50: Maturity

Taken from our Series 50 Online Guide

Maturity

The price volatility of a municipal bond tends to increase in direct proportion to its maturity. When interest rates rise, bonds with longer maturities decline more in price than bonds with shorter maturities. Not only do shorter maturities minimize interest rate risk for investors, but they also minimize default risk. As a result, municipal bonds with shorter maturities tend to be more marketable. This is especially true of revenue bonds.

I prepared for the Series 50 (Municipal Advisor) exam using your materials and was extremely satisfied. Having the materials in multiple written and audio formats provided a lot of flexibility in where and when I could study. The scope of the Series 50 exam is so broad that even very experienced individuals would benefit by this type of preparatory course. I highly recommend this product.

I just passed the Series 50 exam! Yay! The Solomon Exam Prep materials are excellent. I utilized the guide book, on-line lecture, on-line course, on-line study guide and quizzes. The "Ask the Professor" feature was very helpful as well. I highly recommend their resources.

I passed . Got an 84 on my Series 50. Solomon's prep material was pretty good. The practice tests were very helpful too. The numerical examples embedded within the theory really helped with the concepts. Made the material easy to read and understand.

I had the Series 50 study guide memorized backwards and forwards, but still found the exam to be extremely difficult. I think the study guide still needs a lot of refining to cover more of the exam content, but I sure as heck wouldn't have passed the exam without it. Found the Solomon study guide to be absolutely necessary, but still in need of considerable improvement.

Many thanks to the fine staff at Solomon Exam Prep. I'm happy to report that I passed the Series 50 Municipal Advisor exam on my first attempt. The written material is extremely thorough and comprehensive. With respect to the online quizzes and final exams, the questions are very comparable in difficulty to the actual exam, thus providing the foundation for success. A special word of thanks to Carson for his encouragement and support.
