Financial Invest & Corp Risk Analysis (861G1)
15 credits, Level 7 (Masters)
Spring teaching
In this module, we introduce the three main risk concepts in the investment and corporate risk management field: market risk (times series), credit risk (financial rating) and operational risk (evaluation and reporting techniques), using Basel Regulations as guidelines.
We then introduce the mathematical tools required to quantify, describe and analyse these risks quantitatively (including graphic representation, bootstrapping, calculation of transition matrices, ARCH/GARCH models, VaR, Monte-Carlo simulation)
We also introduce programming tools in Excel and MATLAB on how to deal with these problems.
