Value at Risk

About the online training programme

This course provides insight in the concept of risk and explains how it differs from uncertainty. The lessons cover in-depth the quantification of risk by means of various methodologies, both on the level of an individual position and a complex portfolio. Next to value at risk, stress tests are given attention.
