<P><STRONG>Why we wrote this Guide<BR></STRONG>This Guide evolved from common client questions about market risk management. While there<BR>is a significant amount of quantitative research and high-level risk management literature, there<BR>are few practical resources at the risk manager's disposal. The Guide addresses the basic issues<BR>risk managers face when implementing a market risk measurement process 。。。</P>
<P><STRONG>Who should read the Guide<BR></STRONG>The Guide is geared for risk monitors and analysts who are responsible for implementing a risk<BR>reporting process. After studying the Guide, readers should know (a) how to measure risk,<BR>(b) why it's important to measure risk—the “so what” or “value-added” of it, and (c) how to<BR>present and communicate risk information to management and other interested constituents 。。。<BR></P>
