The first comprehensive risk management guide to European investment funds The European investment fund market is one of the biggest financial markets in the world―with a total value of approximately 22 trillion EUR. To help investors understand how risk is managed in this vast market, Risk Management for Investment Funds provides a comprehensive yet practical guide, written by four financial experts from diverse and complementary former heads of risk management, university teachers, professional trainers and an expert with a supervisory financial authority. Risk Management for Investment Funds offers valuable insights into managing risk for UCITS funds and alternative investment funds, while covering the following Packed with a wealth of information that cannot be found in other books on risk management, this authoritative guide to managing the risks of European funds is the most comprehensive publication on this important topic.
I like how the book is written, pretty practical and relatively easy with clear and simple calculation examples to illustrate the various concepts (e.g. The Time to Liquidation calculations or the bucketing method). Having worked in the industry helps to grasps the concepts more quickly and to provide structure, nevertheless sometimes the book assumes you know some concepts already while you may not be entirely familiar with the jargon used. But again in general if you are into the topic or work in the industry it should not be a major hinder to appreciate the teachings of the book.
Very helpful for understanding the legal environment of investment funds in EU. It’s probably the best to have one at your workplace, since the book is pretty dense and it’s almost impossible to learn all the information without practicing at the same time.
