<P><b>Description </b>of Elements of Financial Risk Management
Value-at-Risk has emerged as the standard tool for measuring and reporting financial market risk. Currently, more than eighty commercial vendors offer enterprise or trading risk management systems that provide VAR-like measures. Risk managers are therefore often left with the daunting task of having to choose from this plethora of risk measures. </P>
<P>While basic VAR textbooks describe average VAR situations, the vast majority of these situations are abnormal. Elements of Financial Risk Management focuses on implementation, especially recent techniques which facilitate "bridging the gap" between standard textbooks on risk and real-life risk management systems. </P>
<P><b>This book will appeal to practitioners in the financial services and investment industries, as well as graduate students and advanced undergraduates who want exposure to these techniques.</b>

Crisp and Practical. Attached Excel files are beautiful!!, May 29, 2004
Reviewer: "yuyamaz" (Japan) - See all my reviews
I actually learnt elements of risk management and derivatives in a graduate program using this book.
Though I was a perfect amateur in this area, I could understand the essence without taking so much time. That was because this book is short and to the point. Additionally, it is a fair bit practical by adding Excel work files full of models and functions often used in Financial industry. I think the book is also well designed for independent study. All answer files of exercises are contained in an attached CD-ROM.
The best book without question.

The book has its materials laid out clearly with stated goals and conclusions to keep readers well focused. It gives a very concise yet clear explainations to the recent advancements in risk managment. The mathematics in this book isn't difficult for the beginners, yet it can be challenging to those advanced readers who want to get technical; this book is for everyone!
Moreover, you can try it! - a real hand on practice by doing the excercises included in the CD-rom. This book really gave me a practical intuition to the those time-series methods that were taught in the graduate econometrics course. This book is a gold mine among the students and practitioners of financial risk management.</P>
