No more dreaming with BRICs?! 🙁
That was such an outdated reading to begin with!
I did well in Swaps but not in Commodities. So I’m still not sure how I feel about the changes. Overall I doubt it will affect the outcome much.

Wouldn’t the changes be between 2013 and 2014?

All,
In addition to the above, according to some notes I’ve seen from a study provider, the bit in study session 8 is not so much eliminated but a rewriting of the older reading 22. On study session 14, supposedly there is also a new reading on currency risk management that replaces reading 35.
Again this is just what I have sent through, I make no disclaimer about accuracy!

The low basis stock replacement looks like its almost the same with a few minor changes. However, the global performance evaluation was a bit confusing at times.
