 Hey guys, it's MJ the students actually and in this video. We're going to be stalking our examiners on LinkedIn So what I've got is I've been reading through the actuarial course notes for the subject that we busy studying and I've come across a whole bunch of names. These are the people in the acknowledgment section So very likely these people here are going to be the examiners for the fellowship exam in finance For the South African exam. So what we're going to be doing is just be copying their names Typing them into LinkedIn and seeing what happens. So, yeah, let's let's do this so the first guy is called Lance and I think it's this one since it's the only launch that pops up Although it doesn't have a profile picture, which means he's not using LinkedIn that much Went to Hilton College. That's a really cool school in South Africa But other than that, he doesn't say too much on on his one. Okay, let's see who the next person is Namia, let's get him and Let's see what Namia, I think it's this one 50 50 shared connections Director and Chief Financial Officer, Actuary, CFA, also into to this University Yeah, this is what I want to do is you can see the activity see you what, you know, what articles are they liking And stuff like that. Also great to see is what companies that they're working for So the sale group, I actually don't know the sale group Although sale provides debt and equity finance for mining projects Now that's interesting because in the actual course notes It says you need to understand the finances of minds and specifically mining rehabilitation funds And there was a past paper question where you had to value a mind because the trustees of a pension fund Wanted to buy the mind that wasn't working so well and you had to figure out whether they should do it or shouldn't do it And it was quite a heavy question. It was for quite a lot of marks. So I'm probably betting my yeah I'd probably bet that that this was the the guy who said that exam question around the mind So that is really cool. And then you're it's always good to come and you know, see what activity That they're doing is he only like he's only like one thing fund manager at the radium So, yeah, it would be good to To watch that Top of thing. Let's see what other activities we have. I Don't think all activities are using LinkedIn I think it's Yo, I don't I don't think everybody's got LinkedIn. Although. Yeah, I think this is one. We've got three connections in common Also a University of this water strunt. So you cannot that that is the best university for studying actual science anywhere in the world You both study that University of vits Channel dynamics don't know that company BSE honours and Okay, yeah, it's also quite cool to come and see, you know, what are their skills? Strategic planning business strategy new business development. We can view the other ones Social media marketing that is interesting Might get an exam question around social media. Don't know how how that would fit in Okay, nothing too too many clues over there Let's see Mark Mark's profile is Although in LinkedIn, don't they get like a message saying that I've been looking at them I think they do. I think that yeah, it causes a notification. These are the people who are stalking you So all these people are gonna be knowing that I'm stalking them I think indices and valuations at JSE limited Sounds a little bit more than a technician itself. So I think it is this mark Yeah, interestingly, we don't have any okay University of Pretoria. So that's probably why we don't have it Okay, this is interesting. So in the past exam, there was a question. So the one written in November 2016 There was a big question on the JSE and the new can do system so The fact that there is a potential examiner who works at the JSE. That's the Johannesburg Stock Exchange Means that that is a potential exam question. He's interest or ETFs I think ETFs are gonna pop up in the exam just because they haven't come up in any previous exams And there is a lot of news around that. So that is very this is good information We're getting a lot of information off of Mark's one. So, yeah, JSE has got some new indices that they've released they've got the caps wicks which just limits the market cap impact of the the big shares like NASPAS and That is that's very interesting. So we need to remember JSE ETFs Okay, let's see what we can learn from Darren Okay We've got 10 shared connections So where did he study CFA Cape Town area? We've got 10 mutual connections. He's an equity analyst at Investec. Investec is a very high Yeah, Alan Gray as well was very like the top top notch all mutuals the biggest I think the biggest actuarial company. So quite a quite a cool experience. Where did he study? He studied at Cape Town studying Cape Town and valuations Okay, in the the past exam there was a thing about an airport We had a value in airports and where the pension fund should buy it. So Probably that was his His question His interests does he have? He likes the fund managers. So you can come here. I should actually be following these people Hey, Alan Gray as well Prudential and coronation. Those are the big asset managers. Let's see what groups he's in No, that doesn't give us too much. Yeah, it doesn't give us too much information But okay asset managers that is a big topic in the exam. So Interesting that he does work for for them So that is that is Darren We've got two more. We've got two more. We've got Kyle. Let's see. Let's see what we can learn off of Kyle's. Oh This is one thing about LinkedIn is when there's like a lot of people with like the same name Okay, I don't think creative marketing director is setting my exam I don't think an engineering guy for the US Navy on a Hawaiian Island is gonna be setting my exam student at Michigan University Okay, so I don't think we I don't think Kyle Kyle's too cool for LinkedIn. Um, let's see the last one Renee Okay Then they we've got two shared connections. Although we've also got this one. Yeah customer service or fixed income analyst I think the fixed income analyst is more likely to be our our tutorial friend Um, let's see Renee Avore capital market CFA So you can see I remember made that video, but you know should actually study the CFA route We are seeing a lot of the guys in investment have gone on to get the CFA But the fact that he's a fixed income analyst and dealer He's been working there for one year. She means a still a fresh job We might be seeing a question around fixed income Those are like bonds index link bonds also bonds have hit quite a bit of turbulence this year with the whole downgrading and junk status and everyone going oh crazy crazy so That that is quite that is y'all that does give us some information He's a qualified actually the faculty of actually so that's what the UK When you start on Bosch another very good university in South Africa Portfolio management, but they're fixed income That that does give us some information I mean if we click on what happens when you go to one of these things on LinkedIn Six people from your school were hired here. I'm 56 employees. That's not too bad Does it tell you like who the people are? We are an independent equity research firm in South Africa that provides Innovative and insightful research on selected JSE Listed companies. No way. Wait. This is not one of If they're doing on equity, why did he say fixed income? They show more Dirt isn't fixed income. Okay, so he's part of that. Oh, and it's part of the derivatives They love asking about roots is dirt is always comes up in in every exam corporate finance trade and execution since Santon and And then you're I mean like another thing that you can do is you can then go to these Let's open the center you tap you can then go to their websites and Read their blogs. So I read through the color field blogs We ever made that video earlier and there was some really great stuff. So yeah, you want to go insights articles and Just read this stuff. This stuff is really this is really good stuff to read If you board no, it's good It's good studying to to go through here listed property That is actually another topic that I think might pop up in the exam because the JSE has Changed the indices around listed property. So it is very topical as well. So that's what you do What do you want to do for the exam? You want to know what's happening in the world because they do tend to ask on Questions that are, you know, relevant and newsworthy But there we go. I mean guys feel free to to add me on LinkedIn I'll put a little link of my profile thing So you can just click on it and then you can add me and then you can always I think see who's in my connection You can see other activities. You can stalk them and but you must be very careful I think I think you can you know, the internet is a bit of a thief of time So you can get a little bit too in-depth in LinkedIn and then you're like, oh my gosh I've wasted an entire hour just scrolling through this random news feed and reading weird and wonderful articles But I think there we go. We've we've learned some important stuff. I think the JSE I am It's just yeah, the last year's exam paper asked about the JSE So I don't know if they're going to repeat that topic again, especially when there are so many topics But the fact that it has been in the news a lot and we do have an examiner that works for it It does make a lot of sense just to get a good grips and understanding of it anyway But anyway, thanks guys so much for watching this video and feel free to ask a question in the comment section below and To yeah, add me add me to your LinkedIn network.
