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.

I just passed the 82 on my first attempt. The study guide and unlimited practice study exams are priceless. I took full practice exams until I was scoring in the 90's and I'm glad I did. The questions on the actual exam were more difficult than any of my practice exams but I was able to think through them and apparently answer enough questions correctly. I truly wouldn't have passed this exam without all of the practice exams Solomon offered.

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

Your team did it again. I passed my 63 today, less than two weeks after the 82!!! Your study system is perfect, and your practice questions do an amazing job preparing for the exam. If you're not an investment advisor, feel free to use this testimonial on your website!!!!

I found the (Series 82) material from Solomon superior to the other major providers of these types of study guides. The online testing was also quite good and I loved the range of options (half tests, half tests with answers, full tests, etc.). Starting with half test with answers and working my way to full tests without answers built my confidence. Also, their customer service is second to none. If I had a question about the test, my email was answered within the day, as opposed to most companies, which is never. Thanks so much!

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

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.
