Sample Questions

Question 1
In a private-banking investment context, real GDP growth is best described as:
Nominal GDP including transfer payments only
The central bank's overnight policy rate
Nominal GDP growth adjusted for inflation
The current-account surplus as a share of GDP
Question 2
If consumer price inflation is rising faster than expected, which asset class typically faces the most immediate headwind from a valuation perspective, all else equal?
Short-dated Treasury bills with floating coupons that reset daily to inflation
Long-duration fixed-income securities
Physical gold with no price sensitivity to real rates
Overnight cash deposits with daily interest accrual
Question 3
During late-cycle expansion with tight labour markets and rising policy rates, private bankers most commonly tilt discretionary portfolios toward:
Maximum concentration in the most cyclical small-cap names with high leverage
Eliminating cash and all hedges to stay fully invested in risk assets
Shifting entirely into the longest-duration sovereigns regardless of credit quality
Higher-quality credit and shorter duration relative to mid-cycle risk-on positioning
Question 4
A surprise 50 bp cut in the central bank policy rate, with unchanged inflation expectations, most directly tends to:
Automatically raise long-end real yields by the same 50 bp
Lower short-term money-market yields and support risk asset valuations via easier financial conditions
Raise required equity returns while leaving discount rates unchanged in all models
Remove FX risk from all multi-currency portfolios automatically
Question 5
A large unfunded fiscal expansion that markets price as higher future issuance and inflation risk is most likely to:
Guarantee a parallel downward shift in all sovereign yields
Steepen or lift the nominal yield curve as term premia and inflation compensation rise
Have no effect on bond markets if GDP is unchanged in the same quarter
Compress all corporate credit spreads to gilt-equivalent levels permanently
