Course detail
Financial Risk Management
FP-EfrmPAcad. year: 2014/2015
The subject deals with the problem of financial risk management. The concepts such as risk are specified there, further credit, market, interest, unique and systematic risk. There are mentioned the possibilities of financial risk management by means of derivatives, such as forwards, futures, swaps and options. The advanced methods include description of possible use of fuzzy logic, artificial neural networks and genetic algorithms during the process of financial risk management.
