COURSE DETAILS: Lecturer: Dr. Ho, Diep, PhD [email protected] (Tel. 0946 317 379, Room A207) Teaching Assistant: TBA Should the students wish to meet the staff outside the consultation hours, they are advised to make appointment in advance. Course Aims: This advance course follows on from the course Financial Risk Management I (MAFE308IU) and further introduces the history and the development of the risk management within financial institutions and activities around the world to help students get an overview of the risk management industry and its development future trend in Vietnam. Then the course will introduce basic techniques in financial risk management especially identifying risk within financial institutions and methods for measuring and managing risks. Finally, the course will explore a number of cases of using financial derivatives to manage financial risk. The issues of the financial institution industry including public policy issues, the impact of the economic environment, managing interest rate and liquidity risk, services provided, changing regulations and the vast array of current challenges facing the industry are covered in this course.

A student’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to:
Assessment Details: The final grade is computed as follows: Class Participation 5% Mid-Term Exam (One Hour) 30% Written Assignment 25% Final Exam (Two Hours) 40% Total 100% Exam shall be semi-open book. Each student, may bring in a calculator and one A4 cheat sheet. Two sides of the sheet may be filled with anything the student wishes, but must be handwritten by him/her (no photocopying). In addition, since I wish to emphasize practical skills, students shall complete an assignment that use actual data--and to reflect how most companies conduct business, students shall form groups to handle these assignments. Groups shall comprise three to five students – no less, no more. In addition, all group members shall score their team mates on how well they have contributed to the assignment (see "Peer Group Participation Form.doc" in the file cabinet section). Class participation is important and will be explicitly rewarded (5% of the total grade). Effectively, the class participation grade may change a grade near a cutoff. While we do not penalise occasional tardiness, a pattern of repeated unexplained late arrivals and non-attendance shall negatively impact the class participation grade. Understandably, job search or other obligations may occasionally conflict with class. It is each student’s responsibility to find out from his/her classmates what has been missed during the absence.
