Risk management and value creation in financial institutions (Wiley Finance) - Tapa dura

An analysis of the links between risk management and value creation Risk Management and Value Creation in Financial Institutions explores a variety of methods that can be utilized to create economic value at financial institutions. This invaluable resource shows how banks can use risk management to create value for shareholders, addresses the advantages of risk-adjusted return on capital (RAROC) measures, and develops the foundations for a model to identify comparative advantages that emerge as a result of risk-management decisions. It is the only book needed for banking executives interested in the relationship between risk management and value creation.

"This instructive and insightful book offers one of the first comprehensive discussions of the relationship between risk management and value creation in banks. Gerhard Schroeck provides a solid theoretical foundation for discussing the problem and clearly reduces the existing discrepancy between financial theory and the state-of-the-art risk management approaches currently used in the banking industry. His book is a superb reference and extremely valuable both for practitioners as well as academics."
