Portfolio Benchmarks

Portfolio managers often compare the performance of a portfolio to a benchmark. Benchmarks are often indexes that reflect a certain market of securities.

Portfolio managers try to choose benchmarks that best represent the investments in a portfolio.

I love Solomon Exam Prep! The materials are comprehensive and simulate the type of questions on the tests. And the staff is so committed to their students' success. Without them, I wouldn't have been able to pass both the 7 and the 66.

Katelyn Hritcko, Elmcore Securities, Las Vegas, NV

Thanks to you guys, I passed my Series 7 the first time around on Tuesday the 21st. The information given was not only accurate but easy to absorb due to the way the material was set up in your course. I will back to study the Series 66 with you.

Albert Jose, AXA Advisors, Menifee, CA

Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. Having the audio, video lectures (with the printable power-point!) and exam simulator in addition to the book really engages you in the material. It becomes a game! I passed the 66 with an 84%.

Colleen Shelly, PNC Investments, Cleveland, OH

Passed the Series 66 on my first attempt. I thought the exam simulator was perfect. The material gave me the confidence I needed going into test day. I will only use Solomon for any other exams I take in the future. Thank you!

The Series 66 Exam Prep offered by Solomon Exam Prep is exceptional. I used both the textbook and the exam simulator as my only study materials for the exam and passed with an 88. The Solomon material is written in a way which is easy to understand and digest. The exam simulator was excellent in preparing me with quizzes and full length practice tests to focus on my points on weakness and prepare me for the real thing! I would highly recommend both of these products to anyone!

I actually took the test (Series 66) in November and passed! I purchased the book and bought access to the online tests and found both invaluable. The book provided a good basis for knowledge, and taking the tests over and over gave me the logic of what the test writers were seeking.
