Description:

As evidenced by well-publicized debacles at Long Term Capital Management, Barings Bank, and others, trading risk management and measurement is both complex and critical. Fundamentals of Risk Measurement provides a uniquely straightforward approach to the subject, relying on bulletted text and commonsense analysis. Valuable as either a quick, complete introduciton to risk or as a handy review, it allows easy access to key points--and provides tremendous value for everyone from members of trading operations to key executives above the trading floor.
