in financial market risk management. The fifth edition of Professor
Moorad Choudhry’s benchmark reference text An Introduction
to Value-at-Risk offers an accessible and reader-friendly look
at the concept of Va R and its different estimation methods, and is
aimed specifically at newcomers to the market or those unfamiliar
with modern risk management practices. The author capitalises on

in-depth coverage of Va R, set in the context of risk management as
a whole.

* Defining value-at-risk
* Variance-covariance methodology
* Portfolio Va R

Topics are illustrated with Bloomberg screens, worked examples
and exercises. Related issues such as statistics, volatility and

who require an introduction to financial market risk management and
risk measurement techniques.
