Corporations and financial institutions deal with market risk on a daily basis. There is always a degree of uncertainty around future earnings, cash flows and the fair market values of assets and liabilities that need to be managed, as changes in market prices present potential vulnerabilities to financial loss.

In order to deal effectively with market risk, risk management professionals must be proficient in understanding the drivers and outcomes of the four standard market risk factors:

• Equity risk, that equity prices may change
• Interest rate risk, that interest rates may change
• Currency risk, that currency exchange rates may change
• Commodity risk, that commodity prices may change
