Practice of Finance: Advanced Corporate Risk Management


The term risk management can mean different things to different people. In the last few
decades, with the rise of financial engineering, the term risk management has become strongly
associated with the derivatives trading desks of investment banking houses and hedge funds. In a
few commodity industries certain firms have developed profitable trading operations built on the
same principles. In non-financial corporations, risk management evokes an image of the treasury
office buying or selling foreign currency futures to lock in the dollar value of foreign product
sales. There is also an entirely distinct discipline that goes by the same label, risk management,
and that is involved in identifying and limiting the probability of calamatous events, such as plant
explosions or the theft of corporate secrets or the loss of key personnel. Insurance companies both
cover and help to manage and minimize these sorts of risks.
