What r/FRM Is For
This community is for people who hold the FRM certification and people who are studying for it. The focus is on the certification journey, professional risk management topics, and study guidance. It is not a general finance subreddit or a place to sell things.
Rules That Matter Before Posting
The rule that matters most for anyone doing marketing here is "No blatant advertising (aka, blatant self-promotion)". If your post looks like a pitch, it will get removed. You also need to respect "Do not discuss specifics of an exam" because even a casual reference to exam content can trigger a removal. The rule "Do not share or encourage illegal study tools" and the rule "Do not attempt unauthorized (commercial) resale of study materials" are both strict and clear. Finally, "Do not do anything else in violation with GARP" gives moderators broad latitude to remove anything that conflicts with the broader professional body's standards.
What To Post
A good post here is one that helps someone prepare for or understand the FRM certification without crossing into exam specifics or promotion. You could share a study strategy, explain a risk management concept in plain terms, or discuss career paths for FRM holders. If you are a founder, the right move is to contribute useful knowledge first and let people check your profile if they want to learn more about your product. Keep it educational and grounded in the real experience of working through the certification.
What To Avoid
Avoid revealing any details from an actual exam, including content or specific questions. Do not share, ask for, or link to pirated or illegal study materials. Do not attempt to resell study materials commercially. Do not post blatant advertising or self-promotion. Stay clear of anything that violates GARP rules, since moderators have a catch-all rule for that.
