Risk and Capital Management

 

Introduction

One of our major strategic objectives for 2010 was to align capital management more closely with our risk profile at both Group and business unit level, thus enhancing our capability to create value within a clearly defined risk appetite. Our revised operating model, in conjunction with a more robust risk management framework, has enabled us to make more informed decisions to take risks in area where we:

  • Understand the nature of the risks we are taking and the consequences of those risks
  • Demonstrate the ability to accurately determine the capital required to assume these risks
  • Model and validate the range of returns that we can earn on the capital required to back these risks
  • Optimise the risk adjusted rate of return we can earn by reducing the range of adverse outcomes and increasing the range of acceptable return.
