"Liquidity risk is an equal part of the holy trinity of risks, the other two being market and credit risks. It is the least understood of the three and as a result, investors are missing out on an important dimension of risk, diversification and hedging. This valuable book fills the gaps on a much neglected subject and provides a refreshing perspective to it."
Avinash D. Persaud President, Intelligence Capital Limited "Liquidity risk is rapidly moving up the agenda, both within financial institutions as well as in the supervisory community, and the timing of this book could not be better. This book is well–structured and comprehensive in its coverage. It is written by highly experienced and respected professionals and is an important source for anyone who wants to understand liquidity risk."

"Liquidity risk management is in many ways the poor relation of risks but the one that is suddenly receiving a great deal of attention from global regulators. This book certainly fills a long overdue gap with regard to published material and is required reading for liquidity risk practitioners"
