The concept of risk management serves as the unifying theme. A bank?s asset and liability management committee (ALCO) or risk management committee is responsible for the overall financial planning and management of the bank?s profitability and risk profile. The book emphasizes how managers can develop and implement strategies to maximize stockholders? wealth by balancing the trade-off between banking risks and returns. One of the book?s primary purposes is to explain how market risk (interest rate risk, equity price risk, and foreign exchange rate risk), liquidity risk, credit risk, capital/solvency risk and operational risk are measured and how decisions to alter a bank?s risk profile affects profitability and growth opportunities. The book demonstrates how risk management decisions in different areas affect each other and the overall profitability and risk of the institution.
BANK MGT SUCKS
| Customer Rating: | | Never used it for class, and this book is dryer than aunt peggy's thanksgiving turkey. |
The worst text book of the year
| Customer Rating: | | This book gives plenty of infomatoin by presenting not interesting monotonous explanations. The layout is far from reader-friendly. It needs to improve its layout like increasing spaces of the lines, and so forth. This book might discourages students, who want to study this subject. Be super patient and tolerant, if you read the book. |
Lots of information, horrible presentation
| Customer Rating: | I am in my last year of school and preparing to embark on a career in banking. Out of all the finance and economics (I'm a double major) textbooks I have used this is the absolute worst bar none. While the text has a very large amount of information that same information is simply thrown at you with no real presentation.
One other thing that bothers me (possible the most) is the fact that I get severe headaches when I read this text. I have never read a book before with text this small. To me this says something since I am a voracious reader and frequently am reading 3-4 novels while also studying for my classes. |
TEDIOUS, REPETITIVE, BUY NYQUILL INSTEAD!!
| Customer Rating: | | This is likely the worst textbook I have come accross in my finance career. The writing is extremely dry and the authors do not make an effort to summarize anything. They love narrating long concepts and mixing it with dull examples that make you completely lost. The concepts in each chapter are repeated twice for absolutely no reason. This sucker will make you fall asleep as fast as NyQuill - without the good relaxing feeling. |
Got exactly what I wanted!
| Customer Rating: | | Great Service, prompt shipment, the book was in excellent condition! |
