RISK MANAGEMENT

In the financial sector, effective risk management is a strategic asset.
It strengthens the credibility of your activities, builds investor confidence, and ensures the long-term sustainability of your organization.

A sound risk management framework must be tailored to your business reality, proportionate to your activity levels and investment strategies.
It is essential to identify the risks inherent to your operations, organization, and investment approach, and to implement an appropriate and robust framework to manage them effectively.

An effective risk management framework operates as a continuous cycle: identification, detection, correction, and prevention.
It must cover all risk categories, including investment risks (market, credit, liquidity, counterparty) as well as operational and compliance risks.
