While maintaining the risk measurement and management framework that Tony Saunders' market leading MBA text in Financial Institutions is noted for, Fundamentals of Financial Institutions Management provides a broader application of this important perspective. This book recognizes that various financial service firms are evolving towards a single industry. Therefore, examining important decisions for all types of FIs is a significant focus of the coverage and examples within this book. This book relates ways in which managers of modern FIs can expand return with a managed level of risk to achieve the best, or most favorable, return-risk outcome for FI owners.
