This book is unique in that it's very comprehensive. It's a treatise that makes available in a single volume all the modern methods applied in risk management for many very different asset classes. Usually equities, fixed income, currencies and so forth are dealt with as individual "silos" and the impact of holding a portfolio consisting of all of them isn't discussed or if so very partially and only in passing. Equity, fixed income, currency and commodity investors speak different languages. Since this book is going to be written by specialists in all those fields, it essentially will detail the risk measurements of true multi-asset class portfolios, while bridging the gap for managers in each discipline, giving them a single source of information clearly explained.
