Abstract: We present a framework for the measurement and management of financial risk. We review coherent measures of risk, suitable for risk regulation, and extend it to risk measures consistent with the preferences of a representative investor. We consider a "Markowitz-style" formulation of the firm's decision problem. Finally, we introduce an internal market for the trading of risk limits which has an equilibrium yielding the optimal solution for the firm.
