Overview

Module aims and purpose

This module provides an understanding of the Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) framework for market risk assessment and control. The aims of the module are: (1) to cover the main methodologies of measuring market risk (mostly VaR and ES models); (2) to present and discuss the applications of these models to equity & FX, interest rate-sensitive products and derivatives markets;聽 (3) to introduce students to the relevant regulations (Basel & FRTB) regarding bank capital calculation for the trading book and (4) to provide students an opportunity to improve their communication and career skills related to market risk roles. The students will learn about the various methodologies to measure the market risk of portfolios and will benefit from the significant practical component of the module, based on computer-room workshops that support the lecture material.

  • the mark awarded due to the imposition of the penalty shall not fall below the threshold pass mark, namely 40% in the case of modules at Levels 4-6 (i.e. undergraduate modules for Parts 1-3) and 50% in the case of Level 7 modules offered as part of an Integrated Masters or taught postgraduate degree programme;
  • where the piece of work is awarded a mark below the threshold pass mark prior to any penalty being imposed, and is submitted up to three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline), no penalty shall be imposed;
  • where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
