Risk Management in a Global Investment Bank

Risk management is pivotal in the financial services sector, safeguarding a firm's capital and, crucially, its reputation. It encompasses various units, including market risk, credit risk, operational risk, and compliance risk management. These strategies are vital for identifying, assessing, and prioritizing risks followed by coordinated application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability or impact of unforeseen events.
