Abstract
This article highlights and emphasizes the importance of eight specific principles of risk management. The credit crisis of 2007–2009 has clearly reaffirmed the importance of a strong and effective risk management function, and these eight principles will help buy-side institutions think through their risk management organizations. In this article, Golub and Crum make the case for the importance of institutional buy-in, alignment and management of institutional interests, getting risk takers to think like risk managers, a fully engaged but independent risk management organization, understanding fiduciary obligations, bottom-up risk management, and constant monitoring of risk models for accuracy and relevance—and that risk management does not mean risk avoidance.
TOPICS: VAR and use of alternative risk measures of trading risk, risk management
