About Course

This module provides a comprehensive overview of the essential principles of risk management and the regulatory frameworks that govern investment banking operations. You will gain a deep understanding of the major types of financial risk—credit, market, operational, and liquidity—and how investment banks identify, assess, and mitigate these threats. The module covers key risk management tools such as value-at-risk (VaR), scenario analysis, hedging strategies, and stress testing. In addition, you will explore the global regulatory landscape, including the roles and requirements of Basel III, Dodd-Frank, and MiFID II, and how these regulations influence the day-to-day operations and compliance strategies of financial institutions. Practical insights into internal controls, governance frameworks, and compliance procedures will equip you with the knowledge to navigate risk in a complex and evolving financial environment.
