Risking It All

Description

Recent London trading disasters prove that some bankers are still taking reckless risks, five years after the financial crash. Risk is the engine of growth but reckless risk can have catastrophic consequences, especially in today's turbulent financial world. This film charts the thirty-year effort to manage financial risk through mathematical modeling and shows how this can encourage some traders to behave as if they have mastered risk altogether. Includes interviews with Nobel laureate Daniel Kahneman, former JP Morgan executive Bill Winters and regulator Martin Wheatley.
