Managing Risks in Commercial and Retail Banking

Book Description

A practical guide to the practices and procedures of effectively managing banking risks

Managing Risks in Commercial and Retail Banking takes an in-depth, logical look at dealing with all aspects of risk management within the banking sector. It presents complex processes in a simplified way by providing real-life situations and examples.

The book examines all dimensions of the risks that banks face—both the financial risks—credit, market, and operational—and the non-financial risks—money laundering, information technology, business strategy, legal, and reputational. Focusing on methods and models for identifying, measuring, monitoring, and controlling risks, it provides practical advice backed up by solid theories, without resorting to the use of complicated mathematical and statistical formulas.

Author Amalendu Ghosh exposes topics that are usually absent in books on managing banking risk—such as design of control framework, risk management architecture, credit risk rating, risk-based loan pricing, portfolio analysis, business continuity planning, and corporate governance.

  • Author has extensive experience with a variety of major banks and institutions worldwide and brings a fresh perspective in the wake of the global finance crisis
  • Presents a novel approach using models of the credit risk rating of different types of borrowers, the methodology for assigning weights for deriving the rating, and the scoring process
  • Covers the essentials of corporate governance and options for credit risk assessment in line with the recommendations made in the New Basel Capital Accord
  • Explains the methodology of risk-based internal audit, including techniques to enable bank branches to switch over from the old transaction-based audit methods

With its logical sequence of the aspects of risk management, the book’s layout is ideal for presentations, making it a handy tool for risk management training

Hedge Fund Analysis

Posted: 12 Mar 2013 06:35 AM PDT

Hedge Fund Analysis

Book Description

A detailed, step-by-step book covering the entire hedge fund evaluation process

Investing in hedge funds is different from investing in other asset classes. There is much less publicly available information about hedge funds performance than there is about mutual funds or individual stocks. Consequently, investing in this class requires more sophisticated investment knowledge, greater due diligence, and, in many cases, a better-developed ability to evaluate investment managers.

Hedge Fund Analysis provides a broad framework of how to approach this endeavor, from initial screening to analytical techniques, interviewing skills, and legal and contract negotiations. Along the way, it demonstrates a variety of mechanisms for monitoring and tracking hedge funds and the underlying hedge fund portfolios—explaining each stage of the process in minute detail and providing specific examples which fully explain the opportunities and challenges you’ll face each step of the way.

  • Provides a detailed look at how to source hedge funds, screen through them, and rank their strengths and weaknesses
  • Lays out a thorough process for evaluating funds, from initial interviews to performance analysis to onsite meetings
  • Reveals what questions to ask by strategy in order to understand the underlying risk factors associated with each
  • Highlights non-investment analysis, including operational due diligence and risk management, as integral elements in the process

Written by a financial professional with over twenty years of experience conducting investment manager due diligence, this book will put you in a position to make more informed decisions when investing in hedge funds.

Table of Contents
Part I: Background
Chapter 1. Hedge Fund History
Chapter 2. Hedge Fund Asset Class

Part II: Hedge Fund Due Diligence
Chapter 3. Due Diligence Process
Chapter 4. Initial Data Collection
