Comprehensive Risk Management Coverage
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Jorion's book covers an enormous amount of material that will be useful for people practicing risk management. If readers of this book become proficient on the subjects it covers then it will be a building point for more focused books from Wiley and other publishers. I have gone back to this book to review subjects in risk management that I am not required to know immediately in work situations. The questions that are included from the FRM exam are useful tests of your understanding after having read sections and are in need of a check to see what you have gained in knowledge.
The Bible of Risk Management

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.
A Different Perspective

I disagree with the reviewers who say this is a bad book. I'm using it to take the FRM Exam and find, with the help of my study group, that all critical issues in financial risk management are addressed. The book, however, assumes you haven't come to the subject cold, just like Hull or Taleb or Jorion's other text on VaR. You need to supplement this text with other books on the GARP reading list, and its virtues come to light.
Very helpful guide book

Philippe Jorion has done a good job presenting the material for review for the FRM exam. Comprehensive, clear, easy-to-understand, the book is useful and without it it is unlikely that exam participants could pass the exam.
