This book focuses on understanding the characteristics and examining how to manage market risk most effectively. Each concept clarifies the key issues in financial risk management and contributes to a clear understanding of the subject.

Protecting Shareholder Value provides a comprehensive framework to the economic risk that shareholders face including: financial market risk and the value of the firm; defining and quantifying currency/interest rate exposures and impacts; estimation of market risks; and operational issues in exposure management.
