Product Description
P style="MARGIN: 0px"John C. Hullrsquo;s IFinancial Risk Management/I text is the only text to take risk management theory and explain it in a ldquo;this is how you do itrdquo; manner for practical application in todayrsquo;s real world./P P style="MARGIN: 0px" /P P style="MARGIN: 0px"We found that most professors are looking for a book that contains up to date information, and is written for application in the real work environment. Hullrsquo;s text offers students the ability to gain knowledge that will stay with them beyond college and be useful in the real world./P P style="MARGIN: 0px" /P P style="MARGIN: 0px"Based on one of the most popular MBA courses at University of Toronto entitled ldquo;Financial Risk Managementrdquo;, this text focuses on the ways banks and other financial institutions measure market, credit and operational risk. John C. Hull, author of the book ldquo;Options, Futures, and Other Derivativesrdquo; which became the standard reference text for traders, wrote Ildquo;Risk Management and Financial Institutionsrdquo; /Ifor use in instruction as well as trade. The practical nature of the book lends itself to a ldquo;this is how you do itrdquo; presentation style that includes excellent account of the new Basel II regulatory requirements for banks effective in 2007. /P

Good book, bad binding December 24, 2006
8 out of 10 found this review helpful
This book is similar to "Options Futures and Other Derivatives", John Hull's big book, but it does have roughly 40-50% new banking material. At least half is recycled from Hull's other book, which is a better book, in my opinion. br /br /I don't know if this price justifies 50% recycled content. And the math is notably simple. The material on copulas might make it into a future edition of Hull's other book, but banking topics like Basel, operational risk, economic capital, etc. probably will not. br /br /My main complaint is that the hardcover version of this book seems very cheaply made -- over the course of one semester, the binding broke on every one of roughly 20 copies in our class, and pages were falling out all over. I have a beat-up copy of Hull's other book, and the binding is still fine.
Good but..... November 9, 2006

This is a good one, nut I am a little disappointing about the materialbr /which is most covered in Hull's "Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives"br /Except some idea about "Copula"!
