Erik Banks. The Simple Rules of Risk : Revisiting the Art of Financial Risk Management
Publisher:WileyYear:2003
In an age where companies and financial institutions are keenly focusing on managing the financial risk of their operations, the implementation of quantitative methods and models has been of tremendous help, allowing firms to analyze and manage their risk more efficiently and effectively. However, the focus on quantitative risk management, while important, can sometimes be over-emphasized at the expense of judgement, logic and experience. Market dislocations of the 1990’s have revealed the shortcomings of purely quantitative approaches to risk management – and the need for a strong grounding in the "common sense" aspects of the discipline. At is core, the successful management of risk is largely an "art".

Providing detailed presentation and discussion of the...

David A. Dubofsky, Thomas W. Miller. Derivatives: Valuation and Risk Management
Publisher:Year:
Derivatives: Valuation and Risk Management deals with the four primary types of derivative contracts: forwards, futures, swaps, and options. It avoids extensive and difficult mathematics, and instead focuses more on intuitive understanding on how to value each contract, and how to compute the relative price. In addition, it shows how each contract can be used to manage financial price risk. Professionals do not take the time to compute prices, values and other relevant variables. They use software. The book incorporates a widely used software package: FinancialCad in the text. After studying an example, it proceeds to show how FinancialCad solves the same problem. This is important, because software users should not use products without understanding what went into the model that produced the solution. By first reading a specific example, they will be able to use FinancialCad with greater confidence.
