Ideal for anyone studying for CFA, PRMIA, CAIA, or other certifications, Correlation Risk Modeling and Management is the first rigorous guide to the topic of correlation risk. A relatively overlooked type of risk until it caused major unexpected losses during the financial crisis of 2007 through 2009, correlation risk has become a major focus of the risk management departments in major financial institutions, particularly since Basel III specifically addressed correlation risk with new regulations. This offers a rigorous explanation of the topic, revealing new and updated approaches to modelling and risk managing correlation risk.

The risk of financial loss due to unfavorable movements in the correlation between two or more assets, correlation risk is a critical factor in many areas of finance, including trading, investing, portfolio management and regulation. As was vividly demonstrated by the 2007–2009 global financial crisis, correlations also play a vital role in systemic crises, where sudden increases in correlations can lead to devastating losses.
As a consequence, over the past several years, correlation risk has become a major focus in the risk management departments of most major financial institutions. In addition, correlation is also the centerpiece of the Basel Accords to derive value at risk (VAR), credit value at risk, (CVAR) and credit value adjustment (CVA).
Written by a leading international authority in the field, Correlation Risk Modeling and Management is the first hands-on guide to this increasingly crucial topic. Designed to function as both a working resource for an array of finance professionals, including risk managers, analysts, traders, brokers, compliance officers and controllers, as well as a key student text/study guide, this book:
Correlation Risk Management and Modeling is an indispensable resource for anyone with exposure to financial correlations and financial correlation risk. It also is an excellent graduate-level text and a valuable study guide for those preparing to sit for their CFA, PRMIA, CAIA exams or other related certification tests.
