Taken from our Series 6 Online Guide

7.1.2.1. Credit Risk

Credit risk, also known as default risk, is significant to holders of bonds. Credit risk has two related parts. First, it is the risk that an issuer’s perceived or actual credit-worthiness will drop, causing the bond’s price to drop. Second, it is the risk that the issuer will default on the bond issue and, therefore, not pay bondholders the interest or principal that is due to them. U.S. Treasury bonds have practically no credit risk, but municipal and corporate bonds usually have some credit risk.

A bond’s credit risk is graded by the credit rating agencies, Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, and Moody’s. Investment-grade bonds a

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!

THANK YOU SOLOMON! I passed the SIE in December and Series 6 in February. I do not have a background in finance. The study materials prepared me wonderfully for the exams. I used the study schedule - took a ton of practice exams and re-read the material. Also, the testimonials were very encouraging, so I had to share that I had the same amazing experience. Thank you so much!

Thanks so much for your great product. I recently used for the Series 6 and took a month to study and passed. I previously used another provider and didn't pass.

I just took my SIE, Series 6 and Series 63 exams — I took them all on the same day (would recommend breaking them into separate days if you can, but I had specific work reasons I had to get them done). In any event, I PASSED all 3 exams. I used the Solomon materials and was extremely satisfied. Great study materials, I couldn’t have done it without your help. Thank you!

I have passed the Series 6, 63, and 26 on my first tries, all with the excellent training offered by Solomon. I'll never use another platform for my material.
