Will read the book. Here is my thoughts: Managing credit risk in manager or fund level. Controling credit risk in contract level.

Managing means setting a policy of how and when to act.

controlling means doing an action or executing with the policy as your objective . One only tells where you need to go , the other gets you there.

What was the most common form of controlling credit risk again? I think position limits?

In books, limited exposure, MTM and etc. are under “managing credit risk” section, while the position limits and liquidity limits are under capital allocation(or risk budgeting) section.
