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. An index is a basket of securities chosen from the market it is meant to represent. For example, a broad-based index is one that is meant to capture the performance of the entire market. Portfolio managers try to choose benchmarks that best represent the investments in a portfolio.

• The smallest broad-based index is the Dow Jones Industrial Average. It is the best known and oldest equity index in the U.S., but it tracks just 30 stocks. This is the best benchmark for a portfolio filled wi

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%.

Passed the Series 66 today! This program really helped me succeed. The pie charts helped me focus on where I needed to put in more work.

I successfully passed the series 66 test yesterday! I could honestly say it was one of the happiest days of my life! I want to personally thank the excellent staff at Solomon exam prep! They are so knowledgeable and when I asked questions, they always went over the top with explanations and even sometimes creating charts for me to break down the concept. I felt really well served by this group. If you are looking for a company to help you succeed, you have found it Within Solomon exam prep team!

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!

I purchased Solomon Exam Prep to get a leg up on the S66 exam. I had taken it a few times already missing it by 1-2 points. A friend of mine enrolled on the test site and passed it on the first try. We did share notes while she was studying. It was then I realized Solomon has something the other test prep companies did not have, which helped me get over the hump. I will recommend it to anyone who really want to pass it the first time up!

So, on this exam [Series 66] I used both your material and Kaplan. mainly because the bank had already paid for kaplan and I had grown accustom to your laid back writing style along with a great mp3 version of the book. Anyway, I got a fair amount of questions from both the kaplan material and your material before taking the test. I have to say that your material matched more closely to the test than I ever would have expected. I will be coming back to Solomon exam prep for ALL of my exam prep needs. :-) Thanks!
