Financial risk management has become a popular practice amongstfinancial institutions to protect against the adverse effects ofuncertainty caused by fluctuations in interest rates, exchangerates, commodity prices, and equity prices. New financialinstruments and mathematical techniques are continuously developedand introduced in financial practice. These techniques are beingused by an increasing number of firms, traders and financial riskmanagers across various industries. Risk and FinancialManagement: Mathematical and Computational Methods confrontsthe many issues and controversies, and explains the fundamentalconcepts that underpin financial risk management.
Provides a comprehensive introduction to the core topics ofrisk and financial management.
Adopts a pragmatic approach, focused on computational, ratherthan just theoretical, methods.
Bridges the gap between theory and practice in financial riskmanagement
Includes coverage of utility theory, probability, options andderivatives, stochastic volatility and value at risk.
Suitable for students of risk, mathematical finance, andfinancial risk management, and finance practitioners.
Includes extensive reference lists, applications andsuggestions for further reading.
Risk and Financial Management: Mathematical and ComputationalMethods is ideally suited to both students of mathematicalfinance with little background in economics and finance, andstudents of financial risk management, as well as financepractitioners requiring a clearer understanding of the mathematicaland computational methods they use every day. It combines therequired level of rigor, to support the theoretical developments,with a practical flavour through many examples andapplications.
