Market risk

Market risk is the risk of losses in positions arising from movements in market variables like prices and volatility.There is no unique classification as each classification may refer to different aspects of market risk. Nevertheless, the most commonly used types of market risk are: * Equity risk, the risk that stock or stock indices (e.g. Euro Stoxx 50, etc.) prices or their implied volatility will change. * Interest rate risk, the risk that interest rates (e.g. Libor, Euribor, etc.) or their implied volatility will change. * Currency risk, the risk that foreign exchange rates (e.g. EUR/USD, EUR/GBP, etc.) or their implied volatility will change. * Commodity risk, the risk that commodity prices (e.g. corn, crude oil) or their implied volatility will change. * Margining risk results from uncertain future cash outflows due to margin calls covering adverse value changes of a given position. * Shape risk * Holding period risk * Basis risk The capital requirement for market risk is addressed under a revised framework known as "Fundamental Review of the Trading Book" (FRTB).

The SML is a general CML (informal FRM tip series)

A forum member asked me this great question; "If the CML plots well-diversified portfolios, and well-diversified portfolios have no idiosyncratic risk, then isn't the CML also a plot of systematic risk (aka, beta)? Put another way, doesn't the CML already map to the SML?" My response is he
