Value at Risk (GloriaMundi) in Online Business Directory

Not an obscure founder of risk management, but rather an old Latin idiom, sic transit gloria mundi (loosely translated, fame is temporary). GloriaMundi was conceived and created by Barry Schachter in 1996 to collect information on the latest developments in value at risk for a research project of his own. However, soon after, he began receiving email from people who had found the site and who had questions about VaR or suggestions for the site. With the encouragement of site users from many countries, the site has grown dramatically in depth and scope, now serving as a resource for the community of individuals interested in value at risk and more generally financial risk management. Barry Schachter is the creator of GloriaMundi. He is currently Director, Quantitative Resources, for a large hedge fund. Previously he had served as Chief Risk officer for three other hedge funds. He also has worked on the sell side in risk management. He was a Financial Economist in the Risk Analysis division of the U.S. Office of the Comproller of the Currency. He also was an economist (and acting research director) at the commodity futures trading commission. He began his career in academia, spending most of that period at Simon Fraser University.
