| Description: |
Risk management and measurement are now, without doubt, the hottest topics in the finance world. Today, quantifying risk management is not only a management tool -but is also used by regulators for banks and finance houses. "Beyond value at risk" provides a comprehensive guide to recent developments and existing approaches to VaR and risk management, going beyond traditional approaches to the subject and offering a new, far-reaching perspective on investment, hedging and portfolio decision-making. The key to this distinctive approach is a new decision rule -the "Generalised Sharpe Rule", and its practical applications. It offers financial professionals, academics and students comprehensive coverage of VaR both in theory and practice. |
