Risk Management and Shareholders' Value in Banking / Wiley Finance Series (PDF)

This book presents an integrated framework for risk measurement,
capital management and value creation in banks. Moving from the
measurement of the risks facing a bank, it defines criteria and
rules to support a corporate policy aimed at maximizing
shareholders' value.

Parts I - IV discuss different risk types (including interest rate,
market, credit and operational risk) and how to assess the amount
of capital they absorb by means of up-to-date, robust
risk-measurement models. Part V surveys regulatory capital
requirements: a special emphasis is given to the Basel II accord,
discussing its economic foundations and managerial implications.
Part VI presents models and techniques to calibrate the amount of
economic capital at risk needed by the bank, to fine-tune its
composition, to allocate it to risk-taking units, to estimate the
"fair" return expected by shareholders, to monitor the value
creation process. Risk Management and Shareholders' Value in
Banking includes:

much more

performance measurement
