What is Risk Management?
In the financial world, risk management is the process of identification, analysis and acceptance or mitigation of uncertainty in investment decisions. Essentially, risk management occurs any time an investor or fund manager analyzes and attempts to quantify the potential for losses in an investment and then takes the appropriate action (or inaction) given his investment objectives and risk tolerance.
Risk management occurs everywhere in the financial world. It occurs when an investor buys low-risk government bonds over more risky corporate bonds, when a fund manager hedges his currency exposure with currency derivatives and when a bank performs a credit check on an individual before issuing a personal line of credit. Stockbrokers use financial instruments like options and futures, and money managers use strategies like portfolio and investment diversification, in order to mitigate or effectively manage risk.
