In the world of finance and investing, risk is an unavoidable factor that every investor must consider. Risk refers to the possibility that an investment’s actual return will differ from the expected return, and it can manifest in various forms—such as market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk, and operational risk. While some investments are relatively safe and stable, others, often categorized as “risky investments,” present higher chances of both significant rewards and substantial losses.

This book is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of the principles of analyzing and managing investments that carry considerable risk. It emphasizes the importance of making informed, data-driven decisions in the face of uncertainty. By the end of this book, readers will be equipped with the tools to measure, manage, and mitigate risk, whether they are managing their personal investment portfolios or overseeing larger institutional investments.
