Books by Christopher L. (University of Chicago) Culp

The first financial risk management book that combines a detailed, big picture discussion of firm-wide risk management with a comprehensive discussion of derivatives-based hedging strategies and tactics. It focuses on educating readers on how to integrate risk management with corporate business strategy, not just on hedging practices.

Structured finance and alternative risk transfer, or ART, are two of the hottest areas of finance. Now more than ever, structured finance and ART solutions are attracting the attention of corporations looking for new and innovative ways to more efficiently manage capital and a diverse portfolio of risks, particularly credit risk.

Based on an enormously popular "derivative instruments and applications" course taught by risk expert Christopher Culp at the University of Chicago, Risk Transfer will prepare both current practitioners and students alike for many of the issues and problems they will face in derivative markets.
