In response to evolving economic and competitive landscapes, this book underscores the increasing importance of focusing on both profit and risk. It provides a distinctive analysis of the risks encountered by investors and savers engaging with financial institutions and markets while offering strategies for effective risk management. Notably, the book explores emerging areas in finance, including asset securitization, off-balance-sheet activities, and the globalization of financial services. Emphasizing a risk measurement and management framework, it addresses the integration of domestic and foreign financial markets and the shift of financial intermediaries towards a unified financial services industry. The content, accessible to students at all levels, combines mathematical rigor with practical tools. It equips students with essential skills for comprehending and navigating the dynamic financial market environment, covering topics such as issuing and trading financial securities, and analyzing financial statements and loan applications. The book strikes a balance between descriptive concepts and analytical techniques, providing a comprehensive understanding of the unique operational context of modern financial markets and institutions.

Financial Markets and Institutions is aimed at the first course in financial markets and institutions at both the undergraduate and MBA levels. While topics covered in this book are found in more advanced textbooks on financial markets and institutions, the explanations and illustrations are aimed at those with little or no practical or academic experience beyond the introductory-level finance courses. In most chapters, the main relationships are presented by figures, graphs, and simple examples. The more complicated details and technical problems related to in-chapter discussion are provided in appendixes to the chapters. Since the author team's focus is on return and risk and the sources of that return and risk in domestic and foreign financial markets and institutions, this text relates ways in which a modern financial manager, saver, and investor can expand return with a managed level of risk to achieve the best, or most favorable, return–risk outcome.

Saunders and Cornett's Financial Institutions Management: A Risk Management Approach provides an innovative approach that focuses on managing return and risk in modern financial institutions. The central theme is that the risks faced by financial institutions managers and the methods and markets through which these risks are managed are becoming increasingly similar whether an institution is chartered as a commercial bank, a savings bank, an investment bank, or an insurance company. Although the traditional nature of each sector's product activity is analyzed, a greater emphasis is placed on new areas of activities such as asset securitization, off-balance-sheet banking, and international banking.
