Series 82: Currency Risk

Taken from our Series 82 Top-off Online Guide

Currency Risk

Currency risk is the risk that an investment in a foreign security may lose its value due to a strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the foreign country’s currency. For example, imagine that you invest in a Japanese security that is trading on a Japanese exchange. If the dollar strengthens against the Japanese yen, you will get fewer American dollars when you sell your Japanese security. An investor can buy puts against the Japanese yen to protect herself against currency risk.

Thank you, Jeremy, and the Solomon Exam Prep team for your tremendous support - just passed Series 82 on my first try. Jeremy - your magnificent support was invaluable - right from the random "cold" query, via your website, in December down to the personalised care and coaching I received during my prep. Couldn't have nailed this without you & the team.

I studied for the Series 7, 79, and 82 with Solomon Exam Prep, and I never scored lower than a 90% on the actual exam! The Study Guides are easy to understand, and the Online Exam Simulator really prepares you. I just purchased the Series 24 Essential Package today!

After a lengthy absence from the securities industry, I again needed to get licensed. With the great help of Solomon, I did the SIE, Series 7, Series 63, and Series 82, in just over 5 months. The materials are comprehensive and I would recommend reading it all at least twice. Have realistic goals and meet them. Don't take too many days off as the quicker you learn the material the less likely your are to forget the initial stuff. I found the "Ask the Professor" feature to be particularly helpful (and responsive!). I hope I don't need further exams any time soon but, if I do, I will use Solomon.

Dear Solomon Exam Prep, Thank you for your great exam prep materials for the Series 82 Top-Off Exam...I recently took it and passed.

Mordechai Slovin, Palladium Capital Advisors, Israel

I used Solomon to study for the Series 82. The material was spot on! More importantly, the practice tests and timed tests were much harder than the actual Series 82, which was very helpful in passing the test. Thanks!!

Rhett Grimes, Anchortree Capital. Nashville, TN

The online exam simulator was essential to helping me pass the Series 82 on my first attempt!! Have always used Kaplan for previous FINRA exams, so didn't know what to expect at first, but I was definitely prepared for this exam! Great job to everyone at Solomon, especially the exam writers !!
