Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

State of the art risk management techniques and practices—supplemented with interactive analytics All too often risk management books focus on risk measurement details without taking a broader view. Quantitative Risk Management delivers a synthesis of common sense management together with the cutting-edge tools of modern theory. This book presents a road map for tactical and strategic decision making designed to control risk and capitalize on opportunities. Most provocatively it challenges the conventional wisdom that "risk management" is or ever should be delegated to a separate department. Good managers have always known that managing risk is central to a financial firm and must be the responsibility of anyone who contributes to the profit of the firm. A guide to risk management for financial firms and managers in the post-crisis world, Quantitative Risk Management updates the techniques and tools used to measure and monitor risk. These are often mathematical and specialized, but the ideas are simple. The book starts with how we think about risk and uncertainty, then turns to a practical explanation of how risk is measured in today's complex financial markets. Covers everything from risk measures, probability, and regulatory issues to portfolio risk analytics and reporting Includes interactive graphs and computer code for portfolio risk and analytics Explains why tactical and strategic decisions must be made at every level of the firm and portfolio Providing the models, tools, and techniques firms need to build the best risk management practices, Quantitative Risk Management is an essential volume from an experienced manager and quantitative analyst.

This book is a well-written survey of risk analysis. It will be beneficial to all students and practioners. The book balances quantitative measures of risk with real world experience. Tom Coleman has given us a book that is very useful and informative. I highly recommend this volume.

Tom Coleman's book stands out because it was written for business management as well as for risk professionals, two audiences with very different perspectives on which aspects of risk management a practical guide should cover. This well written book should appeal to both. Part One delivers the intuition and Part Two delivers the mathematics. Whatever side you're on, don't skip Chapter 5.

Probably the best book ever written on Quantitative Risk managment. Easy to read and grasp. Meant for a myraid of readers with different backgrounds and interest. The size of the book should not deter you from reading. For the first time in my life I read close to 100 pages of relatively new and hard stuff within 4 hrs. Yes it was that easy to assimilate. The biggest strength of the book lies in its structure. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone new or old in the field as reference guide.Thank you Thomas for such an exceptional scholarship!!!
