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 used the exam prep guide and online tests to study for the Series 50 exam. I relied completely on these study helps to prepare for the exam, which I passed!

Elizabeth Hill, Bright Bay Advisors, LLC, Long Beach, NY

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.

Derek Morse, Morse Associates Consulting, LLC, Reno, NV

Five decades in the muni business didn't guarantee I'd pass the Series 50 pilot exam. (Just knowing content doesn’t mean you are ready for the test.) Thankfully, my Solomon Exam Prep materials were fantastic at teaching complex subject matter in a way that made the answers clear, and I passed the test with ease.

If you plan to take the Series 50 exam, then I strongly recommend that you give yourself the edge that Solomon's study materials provide.

John Canney, Municipal Advisors Group Boston, MA

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.

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.

Jeremy and Tim were extremely helpful in helping me get through some of the tricky parts of the Series 50 exam. Your customer service was top notch and I would highly recommend Solomon to anyone sitting for this test.
