5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding and practical, March 30, 1999
This review is from: Value at Risk: The New Benchmark for Controlling Derivative Risk (Hardcover)
Jorian clearly has practiced before he began to preach. I found his work to be essential in designing and implementing a var methodology for the electricity forward market. The examples he gives of the failures to measure and control risk are illuminating and entertaining. I have recommended the book to others and they have agreed that the book is excellent.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must read for all institutional or fund managers!, July 31, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Value at Risk: The New Benchmark for Controlling Derivative Risk (Hardcover)
As a professional trader and fund manager of over $100 million in assets, I find the book very informative and in depth and at the same time easy to understand. I have made it a requirement for all my traders and managers to read the book. We have become even more risky and daring now!
