Series 6: 7.1. Types Of Investment Risk

Taken from our Series 6 Top-off Online Guide

7.1. Types of Investment Risk

A portfolio of securities will be susceptible to both systematic and nonsystematic risk. Systematic risk is the risk that the entire market will drop, dragging with it the performance of an individual stock or portfolio. Systematic risk is also referred to as market risk. If the performance of a portfolio drops due to systematic risk, it has dropped because the whole market has dropped, not because of the performance of the specific companies within the portfolio.

Nonsystematic risk is the risk that the value of the specific securities within the portfolio will decline due to factors specific to the companies issuing the security (e.g., a decline in the company’s Standard & Poor’s rating). The amount of nonsystematic risk in a portfolio depends on the number of securities in the portfolio and the correlations

After multiple failed attempts at the Series 6, I felt somewhat defeated. I reached out to Solomon for guidance and I was more than impressed with the response I received. The study material was outstanding and the program structure is truly designed to help you pass! Jeremy Solomon was truly my biggest fan and I can't thank him enough for his help! Solomon is by far the best company out there for test preparation; don't waste any more money on the others this is all you will need to pass!

Thanks so much for your great product. I recently used for the Series 6 and took a month to study and passed. I previously used another provider and didn't pass.

Well, I am back! Solomon did it again. I passed the Series 6. All of Solomons materials throughly prepared me for the passing of the SIE and the Series 6. Whose materials will I use for the Series 63? I am glad you asked. I must say it will be Solomon Exam Prep. Thanks again, Solomon your study materials are the best!

I was struggling with my Series 6. I was referred to Steve Kaplan by a colleague. Steve told me to throw away my other study materials from the other school and use the Solomon Products. I found the information to be easier to understand. Along with Steve's test taking tips, I passed my Series 6 with no problem

After failing the SIE with a different study company, I passed after using Solomon! I then passed the S6, S63 and S65 on the first try after studying with Solomon materials! I loved how easy the material was to comprehend and the practice tests were amazing! I felt well prepared for each test! Thank you Solomon!
