Risk Management in Financial Markets
- Risk management is crucial in financial markets due to unpredictability and volatility
- Types of risks:
- Market risk: risk of losses due to changes in market prices
- Credit risk: risk of counterparty defaulting on a financial obligation
- Liquidity risk: risk of being unable to buy or sell assets without significantly affecting their price
- Operational risk: risk of loss due to failures in internal processes, systems, or external events
Key Concepts in Risk Management
- Diversification: spreading investments across various financial instruments, industries, and categories to reduce exposure to any single asset or risk
- Example: a portfolio that includes stocks from different sectors (technology, healthcare, finance) is less likely to suffer significant losses if one sector underperforms
- Hedging: offsetting potential losses in one investment by taking an opposite position in a related asset
- Example: an airline company might use fuel futures contracts to hedge against the risk of rising fuel prices
- Use of derivatives: financial instruments whose value is derived from an underlying asset or group of assets
- Examples: options, futures, and swaps
