The Banker's Handbook on Credit Risk shows you how to comply with Basel II regulations
on credit risk step by step, building on the basics in credit risk up to advanced credit
risk methodologies. This advanced credit/risk management book takes a "new
tools" approach to Basel II implementation. The hands-on applications covered in this
book are vast, including areas of Basel II banking risk requirements (credit risk, credit
spreads, default risk, value at risk, market risk, and so forth) and financial analysis
(exotic options and valuation), to risk analysis (stochastic forecasting, risk-based Monte
Carlo simulation, portfolio optimization) and real options analysis (strategic options and
decision analysis). This book is targeted at banking practitioners and financial analysts
who require the algorithms, examples, models, and insights in solving more advanced and
even esoteric problems. The book comes complete with a DVD filled with sample modeling
videos, case studies, and software applications to help the reader get started
immediately. The various trial software applications included allows the reader to quickly
access the approximately 670 modeling functions, 250 analytical model templates, and
powerful risk-based simulation software to help in the understanding and learning of the
concepts covered in the book, and also to use the embedded functions and algorithms in
their own models. In addition, the reader can get started quickly in running risk-based
Monte Carlo simulations, run advanced forecasting methods, and perform optimization on a
myriad of situations, as well as structure and solve customized real options and financial
options problems.
