This book describes the tools and techniques of value-at-risk and risk decomposition, which underlie risk budgeting. Most readers will never actually compute a value-at-risk (VaR) estimate. That is the role of risk measurement and portfolio management systems. Nonetheless, it is crucial that consumers of value-at-risk estimates and other risk measures understand what is inside the black box. This book attempts to teach enough so the reader can be a sophisticated consumer and user of risk information. It is hoped that some readers of the book will actually use risk information to do risk budgeting.
