Explanation:
Standard deviation measures the dispersion of returns around the average (mean) return. A higher standard deviation indicates greater historical volatility, showing how much the returns deviate from the expected average.
Formula:
Standard Deviation=S(Ri-R?)2n ext{Standard Deviation} = \sqrt{rac{\Sigma (R_i - \bar{R})^2}{n}}Standard Deviation=nS(Ri?-R?)2??
Where:
RiR_iRi? = Individual returns
R?\bar{R}R? = Mean return
nnn = Number of data points

Understanding Execution-Only Sales:
Execution-only sales occur when the client makes a financial transaction without receiving any advice or
recommendations from the intermediary.
The client assumes full responsibility for the decision.
Elimination of Other Options:

Reference: ICWIM Module 4: Coverage of fiduciary duties in financial advising.

Understanding Bullet Payments:
A bullet payment is a single payment of principal and interest at maturity.
Zero coupon bonds do not provide periodic interest payments, making them associated with bullet payments.

C: Convertible bonds may have periodic interest.
D: Premium bonds involve prize draws, not bullet payments.
Reference: ICWIM Module 3: Coverage of fixed income securities and payment structures.

Importance of Prioritizing Protection Needs:

Affordability is crucial to ensuring the plan can be implemented and sustained long-term.
Elimination of Other Options:
A: Establishing net worth is important but unrelated to prioritizing protection needs.
B: A benchmark is not the focus of protection planning.
C: The primary goal is the client’s protection, not the firm’s risk.
Reference: ICWIM Module 2: Emphasis on understanding client affordability and agreeing on realistic financial plans.
정답:
Explanation:
An increase in earnings per share (EPS) indicates improved profitability on a per-share basis. This enhances the company’s ability to distribute dividends to shareholders, assuming a consistent payout ratio.
Widened share base (A): This would typically dilute EPS, not increase it.
Market share (C): Market share is unrelated to EPS; it is about the company’s competitive position.
P/E ratio (D): While EPS affects valuation, a rise in EPS does not guarantee a P/E increase.
Reference: International Certificate in Wealth & Investment Management: Financial ratios and their implications.
EPS as a metric of profitability and dividend-paying capacity.
정답:
Explanation:
Conflict of Interest Definition:
A fiduciary position requires prioritizing the client's best interest. When personal or professional interests compete with this duty, it constitutes a conflict of interest.
Such conflicts can undermine the trust and integrity of the fiduciary relationship.
Elimination of Other Options:
A: Discretionary management is unrelated to fiduciary conflicts.
B: A regulatory breach may occur if the conflict is not disclosed but is not inherently the conflict itself.
C: Full disclosure is a way to manage conflicts, not the conflict itself.

Demutualisation refers to the process by which a mutual savings institution, such as a building society, converts into a publicly traded company or bank. This transformation allows the institution to raise capital through equity issuance and expand its services beyond mutual members.

정답:
Explanation:
Need for a Composite Benchmark:
Portfolios that span multiple asset classes (e.g., equities, bonds, commodities) require a composite benchmark to provide a fair performance comparison.
Single benchmarks (e.g., S&P 500) would not accurately represent multi-asset portfolios.
Elimination of Other Options:
A: Composite benchmarks complicate fund management rather than simplify it.
C: While portfolios are part of the investment universe, this does not necessitate a composite benchmark.
D: Reducing tracking error is a goal but not the main reason for composite benchmarks.
Reference: ICWIM Module 3: Details on portfolio management and benchmark selection for performance measurement.

B: Redemption date length is unrelated to coupon expression.
C & D: Security type (unsecured/bearer) does not dictate coupon terms.
Reference: ICWIM Module 3: Explanation of bond types, including inflation-linked securities.
