Risk has two sides: underestimating it harms the investor, whileoverestimating it prevents the implementation of bold businessprojects. This book explains, from the point of view of thepractitioner, the analysis of investment risk - a proper account ofadequate risk management strategies - and offers an objective andreadable account of the most common investment risk managementprocedures. It will not be highly mathematical, althoughmathematical formulae and technical graphs will be used wherenecessary, and will not rely on excessive technical jargon.
The author also covers guidelines of regulatory institutions thatprotect the market and the investor: Bank of InternationalSettlements, US SEC and UK FSA.
