®2007 FRM Examination
Study Guide
Topic Outline, Readings, Test Weightings
The Study Guide sets forth primary topics and subtopics under the five risk-related disciplines covered in the FRM exam. The topics were selected by the FRM Committee as being representative of the theories and concepts utilized by risk management professionals as they address current issues. The topics are reviewed yearly to ensure the FRM exam is kept timely and relevant.
FRM Examination Approach
The FRM exam is a practice-oriented examination. Its questions are derived from a combination of theory, as set forth in the readings, and “real-world” work experience. Candidates are expected to understand risk management concepts and approaches and how they would apply to a risk manager’s day-to-day activities.
The FRM examination is also a comprehensive examination, testing a risk professional on a number of risk management concepts and approaches. It is very rare that a risk manager will be faced with an issue that can immediately be slotted into one category. In the real world, a risk manager must be able to identify any number of risk-related issues and be able to deal with them effectively.
Readings
Questions for the FRM examination are derived from the readings listed under each topic outline. These readings were selected by the FRM Committee to assist candidates in their review of the subjects covered by the exam. It is strongly suggested that candidates review these readings in depth prior to sitting for the exam.
The Financial Risk Manager Handbook, 4th edition, by Philippe Jorion (New York: Wiley, 2007), covers most of the FRM examination topics at the appropriate level. However, FRM candidates must remember that the handbook is not a textbook. It is only designed to help candidates review the material. Alone, it is not sufficient to prepare a candidate to pass the examination. An interactive CD with questions and answers from previous FRM exams, and an FRM Readings CD are also available to assist candidates with their exam preparation.
FRM Course Providers
Some candidates may want to more formally review the materials with FRM Course Providers. Course Providers are listed on the GARP website. GARP does not endorse any Course Provider but merely lists them as a service to FRM candidates.
FRM Committee Members
No member of the GARP FRM Committee is permitted to receive royalties on books he or she has written that are part of this Study Guide. Any royalties must either be paid to GARP in support of the examination’s cost or be given to a charity.
