SIDC Module 10 Study Tips from Top Performers

1Work through the official Asset and Funds Management Study Outline and reference materials; Module 10 is a Level 2 exam, so expect application and analysis questions, not just recall.
2Learn the licensing framework precisely: how fund management is defined under Schedule 2 of the CMSA 2007, the CMSL and CMSRL pathways, and the capital and compliance-officer requirements set out in the SC Licensing Handbook.
3Be able to distinguish unit trusts, wholesale funds, REITs, business trusts and the PRS, including the roles of the management company and trustee and how NAV and unit pricing work.
4Practise portfolio mathematics such as expected return, standard deviation, correlation, the efficient frontier and the capital asset pricing model so you can apply them quickly under time pressure.
5Memorise the conduct, conflict-of-interest, client-asset and anti-money-laundering duties, and the FIMM advertising rules, because compliance questions reward exact knowledge of the obligations.
6Time yourself at roughly two minutes per question; with 30 questions in 60 minutes, mark and skip hard items and return to them rather than losing time.
