Managing Risks in Financial Services

Growing uncertainty has spread throughout the financial industry. The reason for this is a shift from well-defined conventional risks (credit, market and liquidity risks) to risks that require a more specific assessment like operational, strategic and reputation risks.

At the same time, financial supervisory authorities decided to set up new rules intended to reinforce risk management frameworks within the financial services area: Basel II / Capital Requirement Directive (CRD) for financial institutions, UCITS III for investment funds and Solvency II for insurances.

Consequently, incorporating risk management into tactical and strategic decision-making, as well as into day-to-day business, has become a crucial factor of success for financial services providers today.
