CII R02 Investment Principles and Risk

The R02 Investment Principles and Risk exam was developed by the CII to provide paraplanners, technical consultants and those in financial planning support roles with the knowledge and understanding of investment products and the application of the investment advice process. R02 is a core unit for the CII RQF level 4 Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning. Upon successful completion of R02 students are awarded 20 credits from the CII.

The key to passing this exam is to have the technical knowledge and an understanding of the exam itself. How are the questions written? How should you approach your answers?

R02 Study Resources

Customer Reviews

“I really couldn’t have passed R01 and R02 without the help of Expert Pensions. The variety of the study materials they provide is excellent and really helped me stay engaged with the content. I find the videos extremely useful as they manage to explain lots of complex information in a way that is easy to understand. For me, it’s always more enjoyable to watch someone explaining something rather than reading it! Their forum gives you the opportunity to ask their experts any questions you have (e.g. you need an answer from the CII’s practice exam explained). The experts give quick and comprehensive replies it’s been great going through other students’ questions as sometimes they will have asked something you want to know too! I really couldn’t recommend Expert Pensions enough.”

Hannah Semple

“The essential study notes are more than ‘essential’ revision tool. These are expertly written summaries of the CII book that bring the material to life. The notes coupled with videos, end of chapter quizzes and ask your tutor questions gave me the perfect recipe for success with R02 & R03. Thank you!”
