Risk management is a foundation discipline for the prudent conduct of investment management. Being effective requires ongoing evolution and adaptation. In The World of Risk Management, an expert team of contributors that include Nobel Prize laureates Robert C Merton and Harry M Markowitz addresses the important issues arising in the practice of risk management.
A common thread among these distinguished articles is a rigorous theoretical or conceptual basis. Illustrated with full color figures throughout, they discuss topics ranging from broad policy considerations to detailed how-to prescriptions, providing professionals and academics with useful practical implementations.
