Interest rate risk management

Interest rate risk management centers around the identification, measurement, and mitigation of financial risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates. Students will explore various tools and strategies that financial institutions, corporations, and investors employ to protect their portfolios and balance sheets from adverse interest rate movements. The subject covers foundational concepts of interest rate behavior, risk measurement techniques, hedging instruments, and regulatory implications. By the end of the course, learners are expected to have a robust understanding of how to apply theoretical principles to real-world scenarios to effectively manage interest rate risk.
