Financial risk management is a topic of primary importance in financial markets. It is important to learn how to measure and control risk, how to be primed for the opportunity of compensative return, and how to avoid useless exposure. This third edition of Understanding Financial Risk Management offers an updated version of its innovative approach to such issues. Angelo Corelli analyses the various types of financial risk that a financial institution now face in everyday operations-including market, interest rate, credit, liquidity, operational, currency, volatility, and enterprise risk. He deals with each type of risk using a rigorous mix of analytical and theoretical approaches; he gives introductory overviews to the most relevant statistical and mathematical tools; and he provides innovative analyses of all the major models available in the literature. This broad view of theory and the current state of the industry provides a friendly but serious starting point for those who encounter risk management for the first time, and it offers plenty of food for thought to more advanced readers. For its unique mix of rigour and accessibility, this book is a must-read for finance professionals, and it is of keen interest to finance students and researchers.

"Our modern economy depends on financial markets. When financial markets work, they allow people to buy homes and save for retirement; they allow companies to provide the goods and services that we enjoy and depend on. When financial markets don't work, companies fail, people lose their homes, lose their savings, and lose their jobs. Yet financial markets continue to grow in size and complexity and the management of financial risk has never been more important. Quantitative Financial Risk Management is designed to teach students and risk professionals about financial risk management with an emphasis on financial models and mathematical techniques. Each chapter provides numerous sample problems and end of chapter questions. The book provides clear examples of how these models are used in practice and encourages readers to think about the limits and appropriate use of financial models"--
