The advent of new investment strategies (e.g., hedge funds and private equity) and new investment vehicles (e.g., CDOs and SIVs) has made risk more difficult to measure and manage. This course reviews and assesses various techniques, both quantitative and qualitative, for the measurement and management of risk including how to price credit default swaps, counterparty credit risk, stress testing, and portfolio risk.
