Praise for Strategic Risk Management "A truism of mankind is the frightening specter of society's most recent crises. Most books simply purport to minimize such crises in the future. David Iverson shuns formulaic guides derived from recent events to offer a framework for the comprehensive consideration of risk information. David's framework is a guide to the organization and utilization of risk information with the objective of superior proactive and reactive decision-making. He observes that risk management is not just about measurement or reduction, it is about a strategic paradigm for navigating uncertainty while accommodating the incomprehensible complexity of risk." -Brian Singer, Head of Dynamic Allocation Strategies, William Blair & Co. "This excellent book addresses those responsible for ensuring that a pool of capital will meet its objectives. It provides a comprehensive framework for identifying and managing the key risks. This book is both lucidly written and highly practical. The case studies serve to illustrate the approach and highlight issues specific to different types of funds. There is wisdom in this book. David Iverson draws on insights gained from his experience working for such a fund, his interaction with global peers, and his experience advising funds as an investment consultant." -Tore Hayward, Manager of Investment Strategy, Accident Compensation Corporation "Fiduciaries looking to refresh and extend their understanding of institutional investing will be well guided and informed by this book as they battle with the issues." -Jack Gray, Adjunct Professor of Finance, UTS Business School "Risk is a pervasive element of pension fund management. From geopolitical risk, to stakeholder risk, portfolio risk and the equity risk premium-risk is everywhere. Being strategic in the approach to risk management is an integral part of managing assets. It is integral but challenging and not always obvious. David Iverson's book, Strategic Risk Management, is a concise and illuminating journey through the complexity faced in measuring and managing those risks. It is a must-read for anyone facing the challenges of managing risk in investments." -Amanda White, Editor, www.Top1000Funds.com "If you are responsible for the management of a pool of capital, then this book will provide you with valuable guidance and advice. It combines the author's extensive industry experience with important insights from the recent academic literature. The book starts off with a rigorous discussion of fund governance and purpose and takes the reader through several highly readable chapters all the way to performance measurement and process evaluation. The material is presented in a user-friendly way and provides important checklists for anyone involved in fund management." -Henk Berkman, Professor, Department of Accounting and Finance, The University of Auckland Business School "This book truly has something for everyone. It should be mandatory reading for investment professionals and risk managers alike throughout virtually all levels of an organization." -Matt McBrady, Head of Investment Strategy and Risk, Silver Creek Capital Management
