FIN 440 - Risk Management and Derivatives

3 Credit Hours
Risk Management has matured in the last few decades to be a central concern of financial practitioners, to approach the measurement and management of risks in a systematic fashion. This course intends to equip students with the skills and techniques of risk management. Anyone following a career in finance will deal with the problem of matching the risks of their business to the nature of the business and the returns expected from it. The course will include: Value-at- Risk (VAR), credit evaluation, operation risk measurement, evaluation of economic capital, stress testing, and regulatory matters.  It will also deal in detail with derivatives markets since derivatives are the principal tools used in risk management.

Prerequisite(s): FIN 301
