This course will apply financial risk management methods using concepts from areas such as value at risk, derivatives, hedging and financial engineering. Some of the markets studied include commodities, stocks, bonds, and currencies. Analytical methods to quantity market risks, credit risks as well as operational risks will be covered in this course.
