About the Book:

If we have learned anything from the global

financial collapse of 2008, it is this: the

mathematical risk models currently used by

financial institutions are no longer adequate

quantitative measures of risk exposure.

In The Risk Modeling Evaluation Handbook,

an international team of 48 experts evaluates

the problematic risk-modeling methods

used by large financial institutions and breaks

down how these models contributed to the

decline of the global capital markets. Their

conclusions enable you to identify the shortcomings

of the most widely used risk models

and create sophisticated strategies for properly

implementing these models into your investing

portfolio.
