FNCE 148 - Risk Mgmt & Insurance

Institution:

Santa Clara University

Subject:

Finance

Description:

Survey of general principles of risk management. Risk Management uses many tools to avoid or reduce or offset the financial penalty of various risks. Insurance is one of them and we will spend some time on different types of insurance. In addition, other financial instruments are sometimes used to insure a portfolio (e.g., a protective put) or as insurance in an otherwise risky investment (e.g., a credit default swap). In many firms, the CFO or VP-Finance is the Risk Management officer or has that function in his/her department. This course will address the Risk Management function across the firm. FNCE 121 & 124
