5.1.1.2.8. Reinvestment Risk

Reinvestment risk is the risk that interest earned from a bond cannot be reinvested at an interest rate equal to or higher than the coupon rate of the bond. When interest rates fall, an investor will have to reinvest the interest at the lower rate. Zero coupon bonds have no reinvestment risk because they have no periodic coupon payments. As discussed above, bonds that are callable are particularly exposed to interest rate risk. When interest rates decline, issuers may decide to reduce their interest payments by issuing new bonds at a lower rate and using the funds to call their callable bonds.

Solomon Exam Prep prepared me well with a large variety of questions on the practice exams. I was able to pass my SIE on my first attempt, onto the Series 7!

Andrew Johnson, First State Investment Services. Worthington, MN

Using the Solomon SIE exam practice was a huge help at preparing for the types of questions that were asked on the real test. If you are passing the tests on Solomon’s practice exams with a consistent 75% pass rate, you should feel confident going into the test. Good luck, thank you Solomon!

Blake Rossman, True Wealth Financial, Fircrest, WA

I took a job which required me to pass the SIE, Series 6, Series 63 and Series 26. Understandably this was a pretty tall task, but the Solomon Exam Prep materials made it incredibly easy. I appreciated how well all of the material was laid out for all four tests. I stuck to the study plans that were included in the resources and passed all four tests on the first try. This was a stressful time in my life, but Solomon got me through it! I would highly recommend Solomon to anyone who is looking to become licensed. Part of my new job is managing other licensed individuals and I recently hired two employees who are now required to be licensed. I reached out to Solomon for a demo of their Admin Portal and it is wonderfully comprehensive. It allows me to track my employees progress without having to reach out and be too invasive. Excellent all around!

Great preparation for a first-time-go on my SIE exam! Used the audio book for my commutes, and the presentation was good addition to back up the book. I leveraged the exam simulator which was priceless in making me feel like I was prepared for the exam. And, once I got into the test, I was prepared enough that I wondered if the real exam was going to get more difficult at the end...? I felt confident and well-prepared. Will be ordering the top-off shortly! Thanks for a great product and outstanding support!
