Description
Over the years, risk management has developed separately in both the insurance and financial fields. Today, the two are finding value in each other's tools and techniques. "Integrated Risk Management" combines the best of the two notions of risk management, insurance and financial, to develop solutions ideal for today's complex risk environment. Tools go beyond hedging strategies to also examine leveraging, post-loss financing, contingent financing, and diversification.
