Investors are concerned about the increased risk or volatility in the financial markets
caused by these unexpected and surprising developments in the financial services
industry. Volatility, being a measure of the risk or uncertainty, describes the degree
to which a value, such as a stock price or an interest rate, or an exchange rate changes
over a specified time period. Being an investor in any of the segment of the financial
market, people are much concerned about the level of risk or uncertainty of that
market. The volatility measure is also important to a bank or other financial institutions
because it dramatically affects their Value-at-Risk (VaR) estimates and accordingly
their capital requirements. Therefore, effective management of different financial
risk is essential for the risk management of any exposure in fixed income securities,
foreign exchange, equities, etc. and also for the valuation of their respective
derivatives positions.
