Ron S. Dembo and Andrew Freeman explain how to weigh the basic elements of risk
management - time horizon, scenarios, risk
measure and benchmarks. They write in a direct style to appeal to the general reader, and they include numerous charts and tables to illustrate their basic principles and examples. While their
mathematical reasoning may be difficult for less expert readers, it is an essential element of the book, since creating mathematical models is at the heart of risk
management. With this caveat, getAbstract.com recommends this well-researched book to executives who make corporate decisions and to serious investors.
