Reviews

[Elchin Jafarov · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very good range of covered topics, but the book clearly lacks examples and more detailed explanations of concepts. Good as a brief reference book, but not so if you start learning financial risk management.

[Rick · Rating 3 out of 5]

Poorly written. Some chapters start with practically no context before throwing you into an abyss of formulas. Others provide too much fat and not enough fact. It seemed like each chapter was written by a different experts and that they ran out of money to hire an editor at the end. Useful if you are training for the FRM exam, but that's about it. The practical knowledge is limited.

Unfortunately riddled with errors and incomplete - there are large gaps. In the absence of an alternative text, however, Mr Jorion will continue to cash in on this book.
