Finance expert appointed senior advisor to GARP’s FRM Advisory Committee

The Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP) has announced that finance expert John Hull (pictured) will serve as senior advisor to its FRM Advisory Committee.

In that role, Hull will help ensure the coverage, completeness, and relevance of the Financial Risk Manager (FRM) Program. Hull will play a critical role in overseeing the review of existing material and the creation of new material in the FRM program.

Hull is an internationally recognised authority on derivatives and risk management, currently serving as the Maple Financial Professor of Derivatives and Risk Management at University of Toronto's Joseph L Rotman School of Management. In 2016, he was awarded the title of professor.

He is a published author of four books, including Risk Management and Financial Institutions (now in its fifth edition) and Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives (now in its 11th edition), as well as a winner of the Nikko-LOR research competition for his work on the Hull-White interest rate model and Financial Engineer of the Year by the International Association of Financial Engineers.

“We are thrilled to have John providing his expertise to the FRM Advisory Committee,” said Richard Apostolik, president and CEO of GARP. “As demonstrated by the 70,000 certified FRMs in the world today, the program’s tradition is one of quality and consistency. John’s knowledge and experience will significantly aid the FRM’s continued development, improvement, and refinement.”
