Risk control capital allocation and realistic derivative pricing and hedging are critical concerns for major financial institutions and individual traders alike. Events from the collapse of Lehman Brothers to the Greek sovereign debt crisis demonstrate the urgent and abiding need for statistical tools adequate to measure and anticipate the amplitude of potential swings in the financial markets - from ordinary stock price and interest rate moves to defaults to those increasingly frequent rare events fashionably called black swan events . Yet many on Wall Street continue to rely on standard models based on artificially simplified assumptions that can lead to systematic (and sometimes catastrophic) underestimation of real risks. In Practical Methods of Financial Engineering and Risk Management Dr. Rupak Chatterjee - former director of the multi-asset quantitative research group at Citi - introduces finance professionals and advanced students to the latest concepts tools valuation techniques and analytic measures being deployed by the more discerning and responsive Wall Street practitioners on all operational scales from day trading to institutional strategy to model and analyze more faithfully the real behavior and risk exposure of financial markets in the cold light of the post-2008 realities. Until one masters this modern skill set one cannot allocate risk capital properly price and hedge derivative securities realistically or risk-manage positions from the multiple perspectives of market risk credit risk counterparty risk and systemic risk. The book assumes a working knowledge of calculus statistics and Excel but it teaches techniques from statistical analysis probability and stochastic processes sufficient to enable the reader to calibrate probability distributions and create the simulations that are used on Wall Street to valuate various financial instruments correctly model the risk dimensions of trading strategies and perform the numerically intensive analysis of risk measures required by various regulatory agencies.
