Risk Is An Asset

Turning Commodity Price Uncertainty Into A Strategic Advantage

About the book  

Wayne Penello and Andrew Furman have spent over forty years investigating traditional hedging practices and innovating a better solution. And that innovation put them on a path to invent a groundbreaking approach to hedging.
Risk Is an Asset tells the story of that invention and will transform how you think about hedging strategies. You will learn that effective hedging is not a decision; it is a process they call “Process Risk Management,” or PRM. It is guided by risk metrics expressed in the same budgetary terms used to measure the success of your business. PRM helps each firm maintain focus on budgetary success and avoid the trap of trying to outguess the market.
Why is measuring risk in budgetary terms important? Because if you measure the wrong things, you are unlikely to get the desired results.

A must for every "risk management consultant" that wants to take his advisory to the next level.  - Alexei P.

One of the more practical, comprehensive discussions without getting overly technical & focusing on the process keys to success. - Aaron

"Risk & Uncertainty is Inherent in Everything"

You can’t expect to maximize your performance if you don’t actively evaluate and manage risk in the business world (and in life, for that matter). Instead of paying “Risk” lip service, why not actively manage it - P S Schechner

Clear and interesting read on what's presumed to be a difficult-to-understand topic.
