Abstract: | This article presents an integrated theoretical framework to guide financial risk management decisions. The framework is based on two key principles: The use of a "Sharp rule" to assess prospective changes in a firm's or portfolio's risk-expected return profile and the maintenance of a constant probability of default, which determines the firm's or portfolio's leverage. The rules are not restricted to normal return distributions. |
