Credit points: 15
Subject outline
Market risk is the risk of loss, or gain, arising from unexpected changes in the market price of assets, such as equity, debt and derivative securities and commodities, or the change in market rates, such as interest rates or exchange rates. In this subject students will examine how to measure the exposure of a firm or portfolio to market risk. Students will then examine strategies to manage the exposure of a firm or portfolio to market risk. This subject is one of three subjects which consider how to measure and manage a firm or portfolio's exposure to market, credit and operational risk, respectively. Taken together these three subjects form the specialisation which defines the Master of Finanial Analysis (Financial Risk Management) and aligns it to the curriculum of the leading globally recognised professional accreditation in financial risk management, the Financial Risk Manager (FRM) accreditation.
