Abstract
Financial volatility enjoys increasing relevance in risk managers’ daily business. According to the fifth annual survey of emerging risks, carried out in 2012 by the Society of Actuaries, Casualty Actuarial Society and the Canadian Institute of Actuaries, financial volatility was cited as the highest emerging risk with 68% of the respondents declaring it as one of their top three concerns (Ladd 2012). Another research highlighting the importance of volatility risk management was conducted by the Association of Corporate Treasurers and Barclays in 2012.
