How the 6 weeks work

Never worked in risk before? Start here. Each week you learn one part of a risk analyst’s job, practise it on the same firm, and hand in one piece of work.

01
9 days limit breached, no alarm time → ↑ exposure
Weeks 1 and 2

Name the risk and set the limits

Learn what a risk team does, how to sort risks into types, who sets the limits, and how to measure how much prices swing.

Hand in: risks sorted and measured
03
Shares Bonds Cash Futures hidden risk
Week 3

See exposure inside contracts

Learn how forwards, options and swaps create risk that is bigger than the cash you put in.

Hand in: exposure and counterparty view
04
breached 4× normal days the risk limit
Week 4

Give the board one number

Work out how much the firm could lose on a bad day three ways, then test what the number misses.

Hand in: the number and its limits
05
STRESSED
Week 5

Stress it, then check credit and cash

Replay a crisis, watch for a weakening borrower and make sure the firm can pay its bills on Thursday.

Practice: a stress test
06
Sort Measure Stress Report
Week 6

Capstone: run the risk report

Build the firm’s full risk report and defend every number to a board that wants answers.

Final: a risk report you can defend

THE RISK LAB

Pick how sure you want to be. Watch the number grow.

Value at risk is one number for a bad day: “we are this sure we will not lose more than this tomorrow.” The surer you want to be, the bigger the number. Pick a level and see.

THE PORTFOLIO Size: ₹1,000 crore. On a normal day it moves about 1.2%, or ₹12 crore. There are about 250 trading days a year.
How sure do you want to be?90%95%97.5%99%99.9%
Real markets have more extreme days than this simple model expects.

WORSE DAYS A YEAR 25 days12 days6 days2–3 days1 in 4 years how often the loss is bigger
₹12 crore × 1.28 = ₹15 crore; worse on 10% of 250 days.₹12 crore × 1.65 = ₹20 crore; worse on 5% of 250 days.₹12 crore × 1.96 = ₹24 crore; worse on 2.5% of 250 days.₹12 crore × 2.33 = ₹28 crore; worse on 1% of 250 days.₹12 crore × 3.09 = ₹37 crore; worse on 0.1% of 250 days.
! Too small to be usefulBroken about twice a month. The board would stop paying attention.
✓ A common choiceBroken about once a month. Easy to check whether the model is working.
✓ Stricter, still testableBroken a few times a year. Many regulators now ask for this level.
✓ The board’s favouriteBroken only a couple of times a year. But it says nothing about how bad those days get.
! The model is guessing hereSo rare you can never check it. This is where stress tests take over.
Example numbers for learning. Not real advice.

The topics you
actually master

Six skills a risk team will test you on. Each one starts with a real problem from the job and ends with work you can show.

Make a call. See the miss. Fix the logic.

The simulations you run

You make a real call in a risk team, see where it goes wrong, then fix it. Here are three of them.

Risk number in the report ₹20 cr Recent swings used

Measured on calm days

The risk number was built on a quiet year. Update it with recent days and see how much it grows.

Open simulation →
Why the hedged book lost
Price moved right
Swings changed
check the sensitivity

Right call, still a loss

The hedge was in place and the market moved the right way, yet money was lost. Find which sensitivity caused it.

Open simulation →
Six positions, one stress
A fell too
B fell too
C fell too
D fell too

Diversified on paper

Six positions that never moved together all fell at once. Rebuild the stress test to show it.

How often should it break?

WEEK 4 · ONE NUMBER FOR THE BOARD

A firm’s 99% one-day value at risk is ₹28 crore. Over a year of 250 trading days, how many days would you expect a loss bigger than ₹28 crore?

Right call. Not quite.

99% sure means 1% of days are worse. 1% of 250 days is 2.5, so two or three bad days a year is normal. If it breaks far more often, the model is wrong. If it breaks four times in one week, something has changed. Counting breaks is how a risk team checks its own number.

Milestone preview

Three graded milestones and a capstone. Each one is real work you can show.

✕
Week 2

Sort it, govern it, measure it

A loss three teams each blame on another, a limit broken for nine days with no alarm, and a swing measure that lags the market.

✓ Sort the loss
✓ Escalate the breach
✓ Measure the swings
✓ Write the note
Week 3

Exposure and who owes what

Six positions that fell together, a futures position that ran out of cash while right, and a hedge that lost money.

✓ Show the hidden link
✓ Explain the cash call
✓ Read the sensitivities
✓ Size what others owe
Week 4

The number and its limits

A board asking for one number, three methods giving three answers, and four breaches, three of them in one week.

✓ Run three methods
✓ Count the breaches
✓ Explain the gap
✓ Replay a crisis
Week 6

Capstone: run the risk report

A firm with more exposure than its cash suggests, a borrower downgraded twice, and cash that may not be there when needed.

✓ Map every risk
✓ Stress the firm
✓ Check credit and cash
✓ Defend the report
GRADED

Five ways you
actually learn

Every week follows the same simple loop: learn an idea, try it straight away, use it to make a decision, review it, then show you can do it.

ASK THE DESK

What learners ask before they join.

FMFin Maverickquestion 01 of 05

Do I need a finance background?

No. Week 1 starts from zero: what a risk team does and the main types of risk. If you are comfortable with percentages and a basic spreadsheet, the bootcamp teaches everything else.

FMFin Maverickquestion 02 of 05

How much time does it take each week?

Plan a few focused hours each week. Lessons are short and recorded, so you can fit them around college or work.

FMFin Maverickquestion 03 of 05

Is it live or recorded?

Fully self-paced. Lessons, actions, simulations and milestones are all on demand, so you learn when it suits you and replay anything as often as you need.

FMFin Maverickquestion 04 of 05

What do I walk out with?

Work you can walk through in an interview: risks sorted and measured, an exposure view, a value-at-risk number with its limits, a stress test and a full risk report. Strong work also earns a certificate of appreciation or a letter of recommendation.

FMFin Maverickquestion 05 of 05

Will this get me a job?

No course can promise that. What it gives you is work you can show and the answers to the questions risk teams actually ask. That is what gets you through the interview.
