Thanks for providing such great content and explanation for free! A small doubt, for the practice question at 7:09, the question under the table is to find "the portfolio which minimizes the probability of investor's portfolio falling BELOW 100K. So accordingly, the required return should be 0% instead of 4% in my opinion. If the required return is 4k, shouldn't the question be written in a different way? Please correct me if I'm wrong, Thanks!
Need help with Schweser Notes- Pg.240 Q.2> For a continuous random variable X, the probability of any single value of X is> a. One b. Zero . c. Determined by the CDF. Although the answer is zero, I didnt understand the rationale behind the solution. Thanks in advance! :)

Hello, isn't it possible to consider that by the end of the year, for the practice question of 7:09,the minimum level is to have a -96% return? This would be Return of (4k/100k-1) = 4%-1= -96%, considering that at the end of the 1y investment he would also receive the 100k initial position., therefore the answer would be A as SF_A=10.1= (5%-(-96%))/10% [SF_B=8, SF_C=6.24]. Just curious about the way in which I got it before checking your answer.
@@IFT-CFA I have a quite similar question. The question under the table is to find "the portfolio which minimizes the probability of investor's portfolio falling below 100k. So I have assumed that the required return is 0%. If the required return is 4k, shouldn't the question be written in a different way?
I want to ask about the difference between the Sharp ratio and Safety-first ratio since these two have a very similar equation. Always thanks for your good lectures!
Dear Taewan, The Sharpe ratio uses the risk free rate to calculate the excess return, whereas, the Roy's Safety First ratio uses the investors required rate of return to calculate the excess return. IFT Support Team
Hi. Really appreciate your videos. Subscribed earlier. Was wondering if you cover continuously compounded return (CCR) and how to solve natural log with the calculator somewhere?thx
Want to get the printable PDF slides for these videos? You can get these at a low price from here: ift.world/product/high-yield-course-2021/
Thank you sir, your course on statistics is much better than the explanation of Kaplan
Thanks and welcome

Since a continuous RV can take infinitely large values, the prob. of any one of them occuring would be 1/infinity which is zero.
Thank you

No. On investment of 100,000, the investor requires a return of 4000, i.e. 4000 / 100,000 = 4%.

Are log normal distribution and monte carlo simulation important in the Level 1? Thank you
yes, since these topics are covered in the learning outcome.
