Determinants of interest rates (for the CFA Level 1 exam)

[@theintegratedself]

Thank you for creating this content. I am writing my Level 1 exam in 3 days, and your content made the breadth of the L1 curriculum more manageable. Thank you, and wishing you success with this channel. Echo the L2 content request below :)

[@ravilaroy2524]

How did ur exam go

[@Nrgdumik]

Dear Wojciech, I passed the L1 exam last November and so grateful for efforts you put in each video. Without your teachings and brilliant explanation, my journey would have been much much harder. Are you planning to release content covering the L2 exam?

[@letmeexplaincfa]

Hi, thank you so much for writing. This is so nice to hear ;) Yes, I plan to broaden the content to L2 starting in March

Very helpful class!

[@aidandonnelly8073]

These are a great source of learning. Thank you. Would it be fair to say that the question at the end is slightly misleading. Just by how they label liquidity. It would be very easy to treat this as liquidity risk amd therefore treat it as the opposite to inflation. Its like they are trying to catch you out. Would this be typical of the exam style? Bit sneaky!

legend - is there somewhere we can purchase the entirety of videos covering all of quants and maybe fixed income?

[@letmeexplaincfa]

Thank you very much🙏 this is the content I have. You can access the full range of videos by Joining the channel. I am constantly uploading more videos, and large portion of them will be available to Members/Supporters only. The plan is to cover 2/3 of the Level Curriculum by the August sitting and be fully ready for the November session👍

Hi Professor, great video! I had a quick question about calculating the upper bound for the 4-year, low default risk, low liquidity investment. When we transitioned from the 5-year, high liquidity example (at 6.0%), I was wondering if we should be subtracting the 0.5% liquidity premium instead of adding it? It seems like moving to a low liquidity investment would mean a lower rate, potentially 4.8%. Could you clarify this part? Thanks!

[@letmeexplaincfa]

Hi, investors in a low liquidity instrument face higher risk (low liquidity is unfavourable for them) and thus require additional compensation for this. Hence, we add a premium for low liquidity.

[@elilee1063]

@@letmeexplaincfa Thank you sir!

[@murktalreja5521]

Amazing lectures. Can you please provide lectures of all topics FSA too. I figuered there were only 2 videos for it yet.

[@letmeexplaincfa]

Yes, just two in the FSA 2024 playlist but there is quite a lot of content covered in the general FSA playlist and the one specifically dedicated to deferred tax. I will be recording more FSA content in late May June. The nex 4 weeks will mainly be focused on the more difficult topics within Quants (hypothesis testing, regression) and Derivatives (options pricing and valuation).

Can you tell me what's the difference between these videos that you're uploading now (in yellow) and the old ones .. thank you so much for your efforts sir

[@letmeexplaincfa]

Hi, thanks for your message :) The yellow videos follow the 2024 Curriculum with the aim of covering it all in time for the November session. A significant portion of them is available to channel members. The old ones were recorded earlier but they still remain largely valid.

[@melowihoba936]

Thank you very much.

[@purvakokate1807]

i have a doubt,( if the default risk is high , why do we deduct the default premiun?.... We should add the default premium right for having greater default risk.)

I have a website but it's aimed at my corporate training clients. I do not have a website for CFA prep/courses. All of the content I create for CFA is uploaded to this channel (some of it available to supporters only).

[@fangqiangshan]

@@letmeexplaincfaI am really wondering which video tool are you using for making the video. It looks really cool.

[@Echonix-il3gb]

For the example problem, I initially thought to try finding a definite value rather than a range by taking the difference of maturity between investment 2 and 4 then dividing it by 2 to get 1.5. Would that method work?

[@letmeexplaincfa]

Well, this approach is what we do in a section called Matrix Pricing😉 so yes, it works. But in this section, they will phrase the answers as a range👍

Sorry may I ask why real risk free rate doesn’t account for inflation? When the real interest rate for the most part accounts for inflation. Thank you for the video 🙏

[@letmeexplaincfa]

Real does not mean what you see in the market. The real rate is an abstract economic concept which means nominal rate (market rate) stripped of inflation
