What's New CFI | Market Risk Fundamentals


Listen Later

In this episode of FinPod, we discuss the recently released Market Risk Fundamentals course with insights from the Vice President of Content at CFI. We provide an in-depth look at key processes, such as measuring market risk through the standard deviation of returns and calculating value at risk (VAR). Listeners will learn how these concepts are put to practice in the real world, with examples from major banks and their daily operations to manage market risk exposure.


We also preface the history of VAR, tracing its origins from the late 1980s with Risk Metrics and its adoption by industry giants like JP Morgan. We explore why the financial industry and regulators transitioned from traditional volatility measures to VAR, highlighting its robustness and effectiveness in quantifying market risk.


Additionally, the episode previews the upcoming specialization in Risk Management at CFI, designed to equip finance professionals with the skills needed to excel in the field. Tune in to learn more about market risk and the exciting career opportunities it presents.
