Sample Questions
Question 1
Easy
Which of the following best describes tokenization of alternative assets?
🎉
Correct Answer: D
Solution
D is correct. Tokenization creates digital tokens on a distributed ledger that represent fractional ownership or other economic rights in an underlying asset (real estate, private equity stakes, art, infrastructure). The structure enables fractional access, programmable transferability, and potential secondary-market liquidity for traditionally illiquid alternative investments.
Question 2
Medium
An adviser to a US private equity fund is preparing to comply with the SEC's Private Fund Adviser Rules. Which practice most directly addresses the rule's quarterly statement requirement?
🎉
Correct Answer: D
Solution
D is correct. The Private Fund Adviser Rules require advisers to deliver quarterly statements that disclose, in a standardized format, fund-level fees and expenses, adviser compensation, and performance metrics. The objective is to give limited partners comparable, timely information across funds and prevent selective disclosure. Standardized periodic LP reporting is precisely the conduct the quarterly-statement rule is designed to enforce.
Question 3
Hard
In the original Takahashi-Alexander (Yale) private-equity cash-flow model, the bow factor is best described as the parameter that:
🎉
Correct Answer: B
Solution
B is correct. The bow factor governs the shape of the distribution curve over the fund's life: a higher bow factor delays the bulk of distributions toward later years, while a lower bow factor pulls them forward. Capital calls in Takahashi-Alexander are driven by a separate rate-of-contribution parameter, and discounting and secondary pricing sit entirely outside the model.
FreeFellow was built by Jeffrey Ting, a credentialed actuary and CFA charterholder who passed thirteen of the hardest exams in finance on the first attempt, and paid four-figure prep fees for every one. The learning itself was always free. The price was a moat.
So he started writing his own questions, then lessons, then mock exams, until it grew into a full prep platform covering 35 finance credentials with more than 40,000 original practice questions. The name says exactly what it is: the question bank is free, and Fellow is what you become once you pass.
01
Cost shouldn't decide who gets in.
The exam is a fair gate. A four-figure prep course is not. FreeFellow takes the second gate down, so the exam is the only one left.
02
Free should mean free.
No trial clock, no email gate, no credit card. The question bank, worked solutions, lessons, and readiness score stay free, and they are enough to pass.
03
Built by someone who sat where you sit.
He paid for the big-name courses, found nothing he respected, and built the prep he wished had existed. Not a marketing team that has never sat an exam.
