Question 4c
Examiners Report
Few responses calculated the annual and five-year value-at-risk figures in part (c), and very few provided explanations of the values obtained. Like part (b) of question two above, it seems that candidates are not studying parts of the syllabus that they consider to be relatively small parts and unlikely to be tested. As stated above, given that questions will cover a range of areas within the entire syllabus, adopting such a strategy is not recommended.
