Financial risk modeling | Actuarial science
The RiskMetrics variance model (also known as exponential smoother) was first established in 1989, when Sir Dennis Weatherstone, the new chairman of J.P. Morgan, asked for a daily report measuring and explaining the risks of his firm. Nearly four years later in 1992, J.P. Morgan launched the RiskMetrics methodology to the marketplace, making the substantive research and analysis that satisfied Sir Dennis Weatherstone's request freely available to all market participants. In 1998, as client demand for the group's risk management expertise exceeded the firm's internal risk management resources, the Corporate Risk Management Department was spun off from J.P. Morgan as RiskMetrics Group with 23 founding employees. The RiskMetrics technical document was revised in 1996. In 2001, it was revised again in Return to RiskMetrics. In 2006, a new method for modeling risk factor returns was introduced (RM2006). On 25 January 2008, RiskMetrics Group listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: RISK). In June 2010, RiskMetrics was acquired by MSCI for $1.55 billion. (Wikipedia).
QRM L1-1: The Definition of Risk
Welcome to Quantitative Risk Management (QRM). In this first class, we define what risk if for us. We will discuss the basic characteristics of risk, underlining some important facts, like its subjectivity, and the impossibility of separating payoffs and probabilities. Understanding the d

QRM L1-2: The dimensions of risk and friends
Welcome to Quantitative Risk Management (QRM). In this second video, we analyse the dimensions of risk. Risk is in fact an object that we need to consider from different points of view, and that sometimes we cannot even quantify. We will also discuss the importance of statistical thinking

Welcome to Quantitative Risk Management (QRM). In this lesson we introduce the axiomatic approach to risk measures. We give the definition of risk measure and we discuss what its uses for us are in terms of reserve capital quantification. We then define coherent and convex measures. The p

FRM: Hybrid historical simulation approach to value at risk (VaR)
Yesterday I illustrated the simple historical approach to estimating value at risk (VaR). Today, using the same 100-day sample of Google's recent daily (periodic) stock returns, I illustrate the hybrid approach. The key idea is: Under the simple, each daily return gets the same weight (1%)
