1 total work
For undergraduate and MBA level courses covering financial institutions, markets, and money and capital with a strong strategic analytical component. This edition focuses on managing risk and return in modern financial institutions. The central theme is that the risks faced by the financial institution managers, and the methods and markets through which these risks are managed, are becoming increasingly similar whether the institution is chartered as a commercial bank, a savings bank, investment bank, or an insurance company. There is a strong emphasis on the global aspects of operating a financial institution, increased coverage of non-bank financial institutions, and an examination of the measurement of market risk by presenting the JPM RiskMetrics Model for measuring market risk exposure on a daily basis. Learning aids include extended problems, concept checks and professional perspectives from practitioners.
