SIE CANDIDATES SHOULD STUDY AND KNOW STRATEGIES FOR THE MITIGATION OF RISK
Don't go to sit for the Securities Industry Essentials exam without being familiar with strategies designed to reduce or mitigate investment risks. These strategies include hedging, diversifying, and rebalancing one's portfolio. FINRA specifically includes these mitigation strategies in its SIE Content Outline under Section 2.2. This indicates that the SIE contains questions asking about these strategies.
Bob Eder discusses these mitigation strategies in his book Study for the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam on page 151. Here is a sample of Bob Eder's treatment:
"Hedging (2.2)"
"How to protect a stock portfolio against unexpected
declines? Options are the way many traders protect their stock positions,
either long or short. For greatest protection of long stock positions, purchase
puts either on stocks or on stock indices. For greatest protection of short
stock position, consider purchase of calls."
Here is the link to FINRA's Content Outline for the SIE exam. See the references to Risk Mitigation Strategies in FINRA's Content Outline, section 2.2.
