    To what extend do we need to know the interest rate models for ST9?

    Are you thinking of a particular model? Interest rate models are mentioned in Chapter 18 and Sweeting (14.3).

    If interest rates are a driver or source of risk in an organisation then understanding the impact of a change in interest rates and being able to model (predict?) future interest rates is definitely in the scope of ST9.

    Hello, Sweeting discusses 3 single factor interest models and 1 multi factor interest model.

    It was clear to me how to study interest rates models for CT8, but I am not sure what to focus on for ST9.

    Any suggestions/ advice?

    The core-reading says you should look at Multifactor models shown in Sweeting 14.3.3, the CT8 staff is excluded I think because they were already discussed in CT8. Therefore they can be asked!

    Also, make sure you know the PCA.
