SIE: 5.1.1.2.8. Reinvestment Risk

Taken from our SIE Online Guide

5.1.1.2.8. Reinvestment Risk

Reinvestment risk is the risk that interest earned from a bond cannot be reinvested at an interest rate equal to or higher than the coupon rate of the bond. When interest rates fall, an investor will have to reinvest the interest at the lower rate. Zero coupon bonds have no reinvestment risk because they have no periodic coupon payments. As discussed above, bonds that are callable are particularly exposed to interest rate risk. When interest rates decline, issuers may decide to reduce their interest payments by issuing new bonds at a lower rate and using the funds to call their callable bonds.

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

What an excellent resource! I passed my SIE Exam on my first try and Solomon Exam Prep did an excellent job preparing me for the test. I would highly recommend purchasing the study guide, video lectures, and the exam simulator. The exam simulator is especially helpful. As long as you are scoring consistently in the mid to high seventies on the timed practice exams, you will have no problem with the actual exam. Thank you again to Solomon!

I'm not the best test taker. Solomon changed that. I was struggling on the quizzes and practice test. However, I passed the SIE on the first try. Took me less than one hour to complete. I felt very prepared.

Lamar Barnes, Washington D.C.

Wow!!! Well all I can say is that Solomon Test Prep not only helped me pass the SIE first time but ensured I felt confident about the test beforehand! I will say that the practice tests are definitely harder than the real thing so if your probability passing is over 70% you are good to go! Thanks Solomon!

Lee Schmidt, Thiesen and Dueker Financial Group. Fresno, CA.

Super fast response time to emailed questions, clear explanations in the textbook and in the ungraded practice exams, and unlimited practice tests made Solomon a great resource for preparing for my SIE. Passed on first try!

Solomon Exam Prep materials are head and shoulders above any other company's products. I have purchased several other companies' materials and found that when it came time to take the crucial step of practice exams, every other company's answer explanations simply were too brief to be truly educational, or worse, sometimes contradictory to the text. That is when I turned to Solomon Exam Prep. After purchasing their materials, an actual team member emailed me almost every other day to ask how I was doing with my studying and offered assistance if I had questions. With this kind of support, you aren't trying to climb the mountain of becoming licensed alone! Finally, the owner also contacted me several times to thank me for my purchase and to check on my progress. There is no other company out there doing business in this exemplary way. Please be kind to yourself and START with Solomon Exam Prep materials for the BEST of success!

Rebecca Spadafore - Financial Advisor, LPL Financial. Meadville/Erie Area, PA SIE, Series 7, Series 66

I took the SIE with Solomon Exam Prep and I have to say; the layout of the topics, the practice questions and the explanations of each subject matter is wonderful. They make it clear to follow and understand what the concepts are. Going back to re-try my Series 7 with them instead of my other book.
