Not Formula Based Formula Based
50% of the questions are purely formula based questions
20Karuna - +91 8080 00 5533
www.edupristine.com
FRM Exam : Question Pattern Analysis
• Most common question
– Calculating the portfolio VaR requires the calculation of portfolio volatility, for which we have the simple
formula:
VaR(Portfolio)= wa^2*σa^2 + wb^2*σb^2 + 2*wa*wb*σa*σb*Corelation(a,b)
• Similarly another common formula is calculating the annual VaR from daily VaR (or changing the time
duration of VaR) or calculating the significance intervals. These again use simple formulas:
VaR (for time period T) = VaR(Daily) * Sqrt(T)
• VaR (Significance Part alpha) = Z (Alpha) * Sigma
• Similarly Questions on Quantitative Analysis, which are formula based, are based on EWMA, GARCH
formulas, which are quite simple to calculate, if you know the formula and can apply it in the question.
• Typical formulas would be:
Return = ln(P(t)/P(t-1))
(Sigma(n))^2 = lambda * (Sigma(n-1))^2 + (1 – lambda) * U(n-1)^2
• Similarly the formula based questions from the rest of the parts are not very difficult. If you are
able to remember them and apply them in the FRM Exam, rest assured, your chances of
success would be very high.

FRM Exam Question Pattern Analysis: Quant
• If we broadly divide the syllabus, it would consist of:
– Probability (Including Counting Principles and Joint Prob. Etc.)
– Probability Distributions
– Moments (Mean, Variance, Skewness, Kurtosis)
– Sampling Theorem
– Hypothesis Testing
– Correlation and Regression (And its Hypothesis testing)
– Volatility (Variance as a random variable)
– Monte Carlo Simulation
If you take a look at it, the syllabus is HUGE!
23Karuna - +91 8080 00 5533
www.edupristine.com
FRM Exam Question Pattern Analysis: Quant
• If we were to see the pattern for FRM Exam 2009, we find that more than 50% of the syllabus is
covered by non-quant and stats topics. These are essentially Estimating Volatility and Monte Carlo
Simulations. I will take them one by one:
• Estimating Volatility:
Return = ln(P(t)/P(t-1))
• EWMA:
(Sigma(n))^2 = lambda * (Sigma(n-1))^2 + (1 – lambda) * U(n-1)^2
• GARCH:
(Sigma(n))^2 = alpha * V(L) + Beta* (Sigma(n-1))^2 + Gamma * U(n-1)^2
Where, alpha + beta + gamma = 1
Another variant, alpha * V(L) = omega
• Monte Carlo is again simple! There is hardly any scope of a numerical question from simulation
• Correlation Regression: Again here, one of the easiest questions would be to find the %age variance
explained by your regression line. This is simple R^2, and the easiest thing to calculate:
– SST = SSR + SSE
– R^2 = SSR/SST
– SEE = (SSE/(n-2) )^1/2
24Karuna - +91 8080 00 5533
www.edupristine.com
FRM Exam Question Pattern Analysis: Quant
• The other kind of question can be based upon finding the significance of regression parameters. Again
this is simple – Look at the p-value in the table given, and find the parameters that are significant.
This is ONE question, you should not miss!!
• Portfolio Variance: Again questions (Usually multiple) from this concept have been coming in the
examination for the last so many years. Again something that you should not miss!!
VaR(Portfolio)= wa^2*σa^2 + wb^2*σb^2 + 2*wa*wb*σa*σb*Corelation(a,b)
• Probability Distributions: Usually there is either a question on Normal Distribution, where you have
to identify the rePartant area and find the value or you are given a binomial distribution, and you have
to find the chances of none-of the bonds defaulting!! If you have practiced well, you can get these
questions right!!

FRM Exam Question Pattern Analysis: Market Products
• The broad classification of topics covered in Financial Markets and Products is:
– Financial Markets (Primarily defining the role of various players)
– Futures and forwards (Definitions, Valuation and Hedging)
– Interest Rate and Currency (Some part is included here,
– Fixed Income Instruments (Again part is covered in Valuation and Risk Models)
– Swaps
– Options (Again trading strategy is included here, some part is in Valuation and Risk Models)
– Commodities
If you take a look at it, the syllabus is HUGE!
27Karuna - +91 8080 00 5533
www.edupristine.com
FRM Exam Question Pattern Analysis: Market Products
• If we look closely at the last 3-4 years Sample papers, there are practically 2-3 questions from each of
the topics! So it is difficult to single out any topic, which is important!! Anyways.. lets analyze it closely
and give it a shot
• By default, remember to use continuous compounding, unless otherwise mentioned!! For example, if
you want to calculate returns, then use
– R = Ln(P(t)/P(t-1))
• If it is expressly mentioned that you have to use discrete compounding, then only use:
– R = {P(t) – P(t-1)}/P(t-1)
• Similarly to value futures/ other instruments, use:
– F(0,T) = S(0)*e^(rT) + C
• There are normally atleast two questions on converting rates based on different compounding
frequencies. It is one of the low hanging fruits as far as this section is concerned.
• Please learn the usage of the calculator. You should be a master in usage of calculator, to make
sure that you crack the exam.

FRM Exam Question Pattern Analysis: Market Products
• If we look closely at the last 2-3 years sample papers, the question that is always there relates to
finding duration and modified duration. Normally not a tough question and just a couple of formulae
to remember:
29Karuna - +91 8080 00 5533
www.edupristine.com
FRM Exam Question Pattern Analysis: Market Products
• FRM 2009 sample exam has a lot of questions on trading strategies.
• Can just draw curves of payoffs, and remember the various payoffs like
– Straddle,
– Strangle,
– Butterfly spreads, etc.
• you would have done 5 questions correct!
• Remember the Payoffs of
– Long Call,
– Short Call,
– Long Put,
– Short Put,
– Long Spot,
– Short Spot and similarly for futures.
• Apart from the above topics, there have been questions on Greeks.
• Delta Hedging of portfolio has been one of the favorites of the examiners because of its simplicity of
calculation and the concept checks on the understanding of the examinee about various aspects of
Options Pricing. For delta hedging,
Number of shares = (Number of calls) x (New delta – Old delta)
• Apart from this there is generally a question on relationship between delta of options and Black-
Scholes model.

Pristine’s teaching methodology and faculty has got rave
reviews from the students of previous batches
The coaching classes conducted by Pristine
Careers for FRM 2007 have helped me immensely
in passing FRM 2007 exam. The classes were
simple, lively and conducted by practicing
finance professionals. Open discussions
helped in understanding and remembering many
of the concepts.
Mr Mohan Rao, Senior Manager of a leading
Public Sector Bank.
It was a great experience to attend the FRM Classes
organized by Pristine Career .Most of the concept which one
has to understand to clear the FRM Exam were explained in
the best way and doubts were clarified. Pristine Careers
was very helpful in clearing the FRM Exam for a candidate
like me who had Zero experience of Credit and Market Risk.
I would recommend all the prospective FRM Candidates
and to all Risk Management Student to attend the classes
organized by Pristine Careers.
Ujjwal Jain, Deputy Manager Treasury Mid-Office,
Investment Bank
I am glad to see that I passed all the four PRM exams at the same sitting. The exams are fairly tough and contain
just the right mix of quantitative and theoretical questions. Thanks to Pristine, I knew beforehand what kind of
questions to expect in actual PRM and how to approach the questions. I owe my success to valuable question bank
provided by Pristine.

  • 21. www.edupristine.com FRM Exam : Question Pattern Analysis • Most common question – Calculating the portfolio VaR requires the calculation of portfolio volatility, for which we have the simple formula: VaR(Portfolio)= wa^2*σa^2 + wb^2*σb^2 + 2*wa*wb*σa*σb*Corelation(a,b) • Similarly another common formula is calculating the annual VaR from daily VaR (or changing the time duration of VaR) or calculating the significance intervals. These again use simple formulas: VaR (for time period T) = VaR(Daily) * Sqrt(T) • VaR (Significance Part alpha) = Z (Alpha) * Sigma • Similarly Questions on Quantitative Analysis, which are formula based, are based on EWMA, GARCH formulas, which are quite simple to calculate, if you know the formula and can apply it in the question. • Typical formulas would be: Return = ln(P(t)/P(t-1)) (Sigma(n))^2 = lambda * (Sigma(n-1))^2 + (1 – lambda) * U(n-1)^2 • Similarly the formula based questions from the rest of the parts are not very difficult. If you are able to remember them and apply them in the FRM Exam, rest assured, your chances of success would be very high. 21Karuna - +91 8080 00 5533

  • 23. www.edupristine.com FRM Exam Question Pattern Analysis: Quant • If we broadly divide the syllabus, it would consist of: – Probability (Including Counting Principles and Joint Prob. Etc.) – Probability Distributions – Moments (Mean, Variance, Skewness, Kurtosis) – Sampling Theorem – Hypothesis Testing – Correlation and Regression (And its Hypothesis testing) – Volatility (Variance as a random variable) – Monte Carlo Simulation If you take a look at it, the syllabus is HUGE! 23Karuna - +91 8080 00 5533
  • 24. www.edupristine.com FRM Exam Question Pattern Analysis: Quant • If we were to see the pattern for FRM Exam 2009, we find that more than 50% of the syllabus is covered by non-quant and stats topics. These are essentially Estimating Volatility and Monte Carlo Simulations. I will take them one by one: • Estimating Volatility: Return = ln(P(t)/P(t-1)) • EWMA: (Sigma(n))^2 = lambda * (Sigma(n-1))^2 + (1 – lambda) * U(n-1)^2 • GARCH: (Sigma(n))^2 = alpha * V(L) + Beta* (Sigma(n-1))^2 + Gamma * U(n-1)^2 Where, alpha + beta + gamma = 1 Another variant, alpha * V(L) = omega • Monte Carlo is again simple! There is hardly any scope of a numerical question from simulation • Correlation Regression: Again here, one of the easiest questions would be to find the %age variance explained by your regression line. This is simple R^2, and the easiest thing to calculate: – SST = SSR + SSE – R^2 = SSR/SST – SEE = (SSE/(n-2) )^1/2 24Karuna - +91 8080 00 5533
  • 25. www.edupristine.com FRM Exam Question Pattern Analysis: Quant • The other kind of question can be based upon finding the significance of regression parameters. Again this is simple – Look at the p-value in the table given, and find the parameters that are significant. This is ONE question, you should not miss!! • Portfolio Variance: Again questions (Usually multiple) from this concept have been coming in the examination for the last so many years. Again something that you should not miss!! VaR(Portfolio)= wa^2*σa^2 + wb^2*σb^2 + 2*wa*wb*σa*σb*Corelation(a,b) • Probability Distributions: Usually there is either a question on Normal Distribution, where you have to identify the rePartant area and find the value or you are given a binomial distribution, and you have to find the chances of none-of the bonds defaulting!! If you have practiced well, you can get these questions right!! 25Karuna - +91 8080 00 5533

  • 27. www.edupristine.com FRM Exam Question Pattern Analysis: Market Products • The broad classification of topics covered in Financial Markets and Products is: – Financial Markets (Primarily defining the role of various players) – Futures and forwards (Definitions, Valuation and Hedging) – Interest Rate and Currency (Some part is included here, – Fixed Income Instruments (Again part is covered in Valuation and Risk Models) – Swaps – Options (Again trading strategy is included here, some part is in Valuation and Risk Models) – Commodities If you take a look at it, the syllabus is HUGE! 27Karuna - +91 8080 00 5533
  • 28. www.edupristine.com FRM Exam Question Pattern Analysis: Market Products • If we look closely at the last 3-4 years Sample papers, there are practically 2-3 questions from each of the topics! So it is difficult to single out any topic, which is important!! Anyways.. lets analyze it closely and give it a shot • By default, remember to use continuous compounding, unless otherwise mentioned!! For example, if you want to calculate returns, then use – R = Ln(P(t)/P(t-1)) • If it is expressly mentioned that you have to use discrete compounding, then only use: – R = {P(t) – P(t-1)}/P(t-1) • Similarly to value futures/ other instruments, use: – F(0,T) = S(0)*e^(rT) + C • There are normally atleast two questions on converting rates based on different compounding frequencies. It is one of the low hanging fruits as far as this section is concerned. • Please learn the usage of the calculator. You should be a master in usage of calculator, to make sure that you crack the exam. 28Karuna - +91 8080 00 5533
  • 29. www.edupristine.com FRM Exam Question Pattern Analysis: Market Products • If we look closely at the last 2-3 years sample papers, the question that is always there relates to finding duration and modified duration.

  • 30. www.edupristine.com FRM Exam Question Pattern Analysis: Market Products • FRM 2009 sample exam has a lot of questions on trading strategies. • Can just draw curves of payoffs, and remember the various payoffs like – Straddle, – Strangle, – Butterfly spreads, etc. • you would have done 5 questions correct! • Remember the Payoffs of – Long Call, – Short Call, – Long Put, – Short Put, – Long Spot, – Short Spot and similarly for futures. • Apart from the above topics, there have been questions on Greeks. • Delta Hedging of portfolio has been one of the favorites of the examiners because of its simplicity of calculation and the concept checks on the understanding of the examinee about various aspects of Options Pricing. For delta hedging, Number of shares = (Number of calls) x (New delta – Old delta) • Apart from this there is generally a question on relationship between delta of options and Black- Scholes model. 30Karuna - +91 8080 00 5533
