3 out of 5 stars A must-have for the FRM exam.......2006-11-03

Jorion's book is indispensable (and, in my experience, sufficient) when preparing for the FRM exam; if you are taking it, think no more. An added bonus is the impressive number of typos and errors to test your knowledge :)

5 out of 5 stars very satisfied.......2006-07-30

good to have a wide range of subjects in one handbook. it seems I don't need the other library for my everyday work

4 out of 5 stars Good enough for what it claims.......2006-05-05

The people who have written reviews primarily have gripes that they didn't pass. They must have thought the book was THE ONLY RESOURCE they would need. I used this book and I did pass the exam. It wasn't the only resource I used though.

The publishers of the book even claim that using only this book will not help you pass the exam. It is an OVERVIEW text. It is a primer to help you delve into the material. This book will not substitute the large amount of qualitative reading and equation memorization that you'll need to do in order to pass.

I give it a 4 mainly because the book does what it claims and because some of the more negative reviews are too far-fetched. Remember to buy the version that applies to your test year.

1 out of 5 stars I Wish I Hadn't.......2006-03-30

This book cost me the FRM last year. I made it the center of my study program. The book's writing is atrocious; there are gaps in what is covered; and there are many errors and misstatements. I wasted six weeks struggling with this book. When I finally realized my mistake, it was too late to rescue my study program, and I failed the exam. I am very disillusioned with Jorion and GARP. This shoddy, overpriced paperback makes me think they are in it just for the money. This year, I have signed up for the CFA exam instead. So far, I have been very impressed with their study materials.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for practitionars in financial services for consumers.......2006-12-06

This is a very practical book for anyone in the consumer risk management or non-developers of score models. Explains in plain language the practical aspects of interpreting KS scores (widely used in the credit card/mortgage/consumer finance/auto loan industries), dealing with the very pertinent issue of disparate impact (Reg B) and the even the basics of score variable analysis -including various types of biases that can come in to play.

4 out of 5 stars A good collection of credit scoring related articles .......2006-10-22

I started reading this book with a low expectation but surprisingly I liked the book when I finished it !. Though it doesn't explain the statistical methods in great detail, its still a good reading for logistics regression based scorecard development. SAS is frequently referred in the text so it's easy for a SAS user.

The chapters I thought useful:

If the reader is not very familiar with US credit bureau data, Chapter 3 gives a good summary and explains the basic structure of the bureau file its importance to consumer finance.

Chapter 4- Scorecard development, Elizabeth Mays describes step by step how a scorecard is developed using logistics regression. More importantly, those who wondered how the final points (say a FICO of 580) arrived at, scaling and assignment of point weights to attributes are specifically discussed .

Chapter 5 - Variable analysis and Reduction details the information value calculations and commonly used variable reduction methods .

Chapter 13- Scorecard Monitoring Reports describes how to track them using front end and back end reporting. Though this chapter reads exactly like a FICO article on the same subject, its a good reading.

Overall, it does not have the disadvantage many people writing. Depth of some chapters is below expectation - for example Chapter 8 Score based loss forecasting.

I recommend this for anyone in consumer lending business. esp the beginning analysts. Also check with my site [...] for my recent readings.

    Book Description

    The rash of corporate scandals in recent years underscores a fact too often ignored in the business world: flouting the law holds serious consequences. Indeed, all it takes is one rogue trader, one greedy executive, or one misinformed manager to place an entire organization at risk. But respected legal expert Constance E. Bagley argues that staying out of trouble is only part of the picture when it comes to legality in business. In Winning Legally, Bagley shows how managers can proactively harness the power of the law to maximize corporate value, marshal human and financial resources, and manage risk. Through scores of classic and contemporary examples across the business landscape, this no-nonsense guide completely reframes the relationship of law to business. Bagley explains how managers can use the law as a strategic tool to help select and work effectively with legal advisers, spot legal issues before they become problems, weigh the legal risks of specific opportunities, and more. Ultimately, the responsibility for making tough business decisions lies with managers—not with lawyers. This timely book shows how managers can combine business audacity and vision with integrity and respect for the law to build truly great and enduring firms.

    5 out of 5 stars A True Bible of Risk Management.......2005-04-08

    Having worked on several risk management projects on Wall Street for years, I must admit that this is the best and most comprehensive book on the topic. It covers all the main areas of risk management (market, credit, operational) and saves you countless hours of looking for definitions and derivations of key risk management concepts (not everything is on Google, or at least not yet).

    2 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2003-07-31

    This book is billed as the "official reference book for GARP's FRM certification program" and "ideal for self instruction and in-house training".

    Unfortunately, it falls short on both scores. It is definitely not a book for someone with a basic level of knowledge. Nor does it really seem to be written for the intermediate risk manager/practitioner.

    Dr. Jorion undertook a rather ambitious and perhaps thankless task with this book. The subject is quite extensive. There is probably no one person with all the required in-depth knowledge to write the entire book. So there were bound to be areas of weakness. It also appears that he had scant assistance with the book, which placed an enormous burden on him.

    As well, the book lacks a consistent pedagogical focus. It is not pitched to the basic student or to the intermediate level practitioner but seems to wander between the two. And therefore is probably not an ideal text for either audience.

    If it is intended as a textbook for in-house training or preparation for the FRM exam, then it should be written at a much more basic level with careful ordering of the presentation of the material and fuller explanations rather than the text's at times elliptical and terse ones. For an example of a shortcoming in presentation, in the section on option pricing, the book discusses the Merton derivation (for income generating "underlyings") of the Black Scholes model and then presents a detailed example of the Black Scholes model. It would be more helpful to reverse the order and go from the simpler to the more complex.

    Other areas for improvement are the section on statistics, probability, etc. These are at the heart of modern risk management. Sometimes the descriptions seem too terse to convey the material. The tables on the "moments" could be improved by including the denominator to show the exact formula for their calculation.

    Notwithstanding the above, there is some very good material in the book - thematic comments on risk management and interactions between various risks and instruments. This "big picture" analysis is good. The discussion of "moments" is well organized though there is a shortcoming in the tables - the denominators are missing and so the student doesn't see the exact formula for each. However, as outlined above, without more detail and more structured presentation, the book's utility for the basic level student is diminished.

    One would expect to see more evidence of a strong editor's hand from a book published under Wiley Finance imprint. It is a little acknowledged fact that most authors rely on an editor to catch mistakes and to ensure that the book stays on message. The author's task is even more daunting when preparing such a technical book. And the editor's role then even more critical.

    There are some obvious errors in the book. For example, missing information in the sample question 11.4 on page 254. Poor spacing in the answer key to that question on page 260- where the square root of time and the 99% standard deviation factors are conflated. As well, the explanation of the solution could have been expanded to explain exactly what these factors represented and why they were used. This is very important in a basic training book. Also there are several extraneous words between two sentences on the top of page 291. These and others not mentioned here seem to be obvious catches.

    Since the subject matter is so extensive and since this is a GARP official publication, GARP should consider enlisting several authors, each of whom could address areas of his/her expertise. Dr. Jorion then could serve as the senior author - providing the logical architecture to link sections together and highlight critical dependencies and linkages. That would improve the book materially.

      Book Description

      · Important reading for all managers dealing in business with foreign exchange whether buying or selling and for bankers and those dealing in foreign currency
      · Also vital for students studying subjects that require an understanding of foreign currency management

      With the advent of the World Trade Organization and NAFTA, foreign exchange now affects the corporate world as never before. Hedging currency risk--usually through the interbank network--should now be a routine treasury function. However, medium sized companies (up to $200 million in annual sales) are often shut out of the interbank market because of the cost and minimum size requirement.

      Currency Risk Management as a handbook for financial managers, brokers, and their consultants, shows them how to capture this business. The author writes in an easy-to-read style and shows the finer points of foreign exchange and the various exchange regimes recognized by the IMF. The reader will learn why exchange rates are a matter of government restrictions and controls as well as market price recovery.

      Intended for managers in finance, accountants, treasury managers, libraries, brokers, and financial consultants.

      5 out of 5 stars The Bible of Risk Management.......2003-02-24

      Briefly, The essence of this book is Talyor series.
      Many authors tried to explan bond with Talyor series, but failed to teaching reader well.
      But Jorion complemented that with just 30 pages.
      Also the book is writed systematically and well organized.
      With this book, I passed FRM exam very high score.
      I hope you will be luck enough to read this book.

      1 out of 5 stars Hope this book is not representative of GARP's credibility.......2002-11-02

      Is there anything less than 1 star? For the errors, this book is not a good value for your money

      I agree with other readers. Book is full of errors and irony is most of these errors are not corrected in the downloadable supplement - available on GARP web-site. Agreed the book covers everything within the Body of Knowledge for FRM exam, but many important issues / theories are mentioned / covered in the Handbook because they are part of syllabus but sufficient justice is not done to them. One definately gets this strong feeling that continuity is missing in certain parts of the book and they seem to be just product of simple copy / paste action.

      I strongly recommend GARP, Wiley Finance to correct the errors and replace current book with an error free version. Why should the readers pay for the errors? And please let the readers know what actions you are taking and when?

      1 out of 5 stars Probably the worst book ever written for a risk mgmt exam..........2002-11-02

      Very interesting to see that the most ratings for the Jorion book are either 5 stars or 1 star. I have no idea why one should rate this book with 5 stars - but so many reasons why to rate it with one star:

      - it is full of errors
      - it is written in a very strange and unstructured fashion
      - it is difficult to read
      - Explanations are poor
      - the layout is horrible (the 80ies do-it-yourself desktop publishing style)

      Unfortunately, this is the major book for the FRM exam - some questions will relate to some irrelevant footnotes from the Jorion book for sure.... So a lot of people studying for the exam will continue to waste a lot of time with this book....

      Once upon a time, a guy called Phillipe J. wrote a book about Value at Risk at exactly the right moment and became famous. Since then, people like to ask him to hold presentations at conferences (his charts there have the same quality as the charts in the book, his presentation techniques are extremely disappointing), they like to publish his papers (well, probably comparable to the quality of the book), they like to ask him to be on the board for important exams like the FRM exam. Probably this was all too much...

      3 out of 5 stars Good Start, but fix the errors!!!.......2001-12-24

      The errors in the sample test questions (and answers) need to be fixed! And since the sample test question came from GARP, then GARP should get on the stick and appoint someone in their org to fix 'em.

      If the errors had not been present, I'd have given it 5 stars. Book does a good job at taking the reader from start to finish across many different aspects of risk management, and in a very organized way. Not at an extremely quantitative level of depth, but enough so that you know about the big picture (risk-wise) regarding bonds, equities, commodities, credit risk, market risk, ops risk, regs, etc. I encourage all middle office trade analysis personnel to read this book from cover to cover, and to go for the GARP cert.

      I will use it as a reference, I'm sure.

      1 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTED.......2001-11-08

      It is the worst book I have ever seen.
      I passed both CFA and AICPA and familarize with those materials. I still find it difficult to follow. Not clear explaination, contradiction among arguments and wrong answers for the sample questions.
      I am very disappointed.

                  This NLP stuff does not lead to any lasting change, do an excercise and you will feel good for about a minute but no real change.

                  This book and the new bestseller - The Exclusive Layguide: When Dating and Having Sex with Incredibly Hot Women is No Longer Mirage Even If You Don't Look Like a Model or Don't Make a Fortune

                  - are my favourite books! I am sure you will think the same after reading them! Amazing books!

                  3 out of 5 stars Excellent in some aspects and too much information in another.......2007-07-23

                  The book is a good introduction to NLP. The part about NLP beliefs is fantastic. On the other hand, it seems the authors lost a little focus of the audience they were writting to and the words sometimes do not fit in what they say at the begining. There are lots and lots of exercises, dozens of history about successfull people, but the way they move the reader towards the exercises and histories is OK, but I wish they had less material and had worked more on rapport with the reader. I guess they put too much material and make the book difficult to follow in one side. On the other side, they have experience and they know a lot. They just should be more gentle with readers (work more in deepness than in material that is outside of the reader world). After all, I believe that's what NLP is about. How about using metaphors? In Summary, good work and should improve next time. Hope they can can do it.

                  3 out of 5 stars Good but Not Great.......2007-05-24

                  The CD is very good. I found the subject matter very interesting. I tried it and I actually changed some of the old negative memories and thoughts in a very short period of time. I just wish the the people presenting the material we a little more enthusiastic.

                  5 out of 5 stars Great resources and an easy read.......2007-03-06

                  As a life coach and NLPMP, this is one of the most comprehensive books about NLP that I have read. Not only does it lead you through what NLP is, it also guides you through some exercises that can abseloutly change your mind about what is important to you, what your vision is, and what you want to pursue in life. In short, this book may not change your life, it will change your life. How much will be up to you.

                  The authors have a great way with words and explain things in a very easy way, anyone should be able to learn something from this book and get an understanding of NLP. If you are just being introduced to NLP this book will jump you further into what it can do. If you have some experience with NLP this book will really get you going and reviewing the things you have already learned.

                  Overall a great read and one of the top book on the subject of NLP.

                          5 out of 5 stars NLP: The New Technology Of Achievement.......2007-05-24

                          When we first encountered NLP more than a dozen years ago, we realized it represented a paradigm shift - a completely new way of thinking that makes heightened achievement levels and personal transformation possible.

                          Here's the great reality about NLP: If one person can do something, anyone else can learn how to do it! Now, human excellence can be systematically studied, then reproduced. Just as you can learn to ski, drive, or use a computer, so too can you learn and apply the core achievement skills: motivation, persuasion, confidence and self-esteem.

                          In these tapes, some of the nation's outstanding NLP trainers will share the same strategies they have taught thousandes of NLP Comprehensive seminar participants. You'll learn:

                          * How your motivation strategy works and how to use it at will
                          * How to eliminate past limitations and gain confidence in your future
                          * How to set your goals and future mission
                          * How to apply specific processes to gain deep self-appreciation and self esteem

                          Because NLP processes are universal, you can apply them to every area of your life. Our trainers will guide you in applying the processes so you can attain a lasting positive outlook and increase you peak performances.

                          Enjoy the path you have selected - the NLP path - to rewards of greater personal achievement. - Connirae and Steve Andreas
