Series 82: 3.4.3.1.7. Currency Risk

Taken from our Series 82 Online Guide

3.4.3.1.7. 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.

TESTIMONIALS

What are people saying?

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 took the Series 82 just four weeks after passing the SIE. I followed the study plan, took tons of the great practice tests, got great advice from Karen, and everything worked out well. It was literally the perfect test prep experience. The materials themselves were not overly long as with other groups, it was the exactly right amount, and the Exam Simulator is just awesome, best one of its kind I've ever used. 100% rating. Thank you, Solomon!

Passed my Series 82 comfortably with the Solomon Prep. Only studied for three weeks. Craig and team are very responsive. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND over other exam prep.

Bryan Frinhani, Energy Financial Services. Norwalk, CT

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!

Michael McGregor, Focus Bankers, Charlotte, NC

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.

Shawn Sullivan Charlestowne Securities Darien, CT

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.
