Greatest Hits: Risk Management
2008-05-29 02:26:00 Plenty of questions have been passed around recently about position sizing and money management. If you ever hear me use the words "play defensively" this is what I am referring to. Properly sizing your bets and how you manage your money is the key ingredient to being a successful trader. Allow me to elaborate.Successful trading is not always winning or losing. It is how you distribute your capital, withstand emotional decision making (psychology), and staying disciplined to your rules and financial goals. Money management is a defensive concept and keeps you alive to trade another day. Lets go over a few of the specifics in order to effectively plan your betting (position) size. Keep in mind if your ideas here are to be told exactly what YOU should do, close this window now. As usual, I try to promote original thought, and the reasons behind concepts, but since you and I are different people, what works well for one of us, might not be in the best interest of another (dis...

2008-04-30 07:52:00 Financialweek.com is reporting that theft of data is fueling interest in errors and omissions insurance, also known as E&O insurance. What exactly is E&O insurance? The name makes it pretty self?evident: it?s insurance to cover any accidents or mistakes you may make (or the client perceives you have made) while providing a service. Depending on the profession, it may be called malpractice insurance (medicine) or professional liability insurance (lawyers, architects, etc.) E&O actually covers more than the results of mistakes, however. It also covers defense costs as well, according to the insurancejournal.com. And why are companies looking for this type of insurance? Because accidents happen, especially when it comes to data. Even with the implementation of best practices in risk assessment and management, there is no way to account for all the vicissitudes that life presents you and your company. What has all of th...

But do we understand investment risk for what it is?Investment risk is often defined as ?The volatility of returns.

risk management
2008-04-09 15:32:00 Risk Management has been defined as, "the process of measuring, or assessing risk and developing strategies to manage it." When you go into any new project or other type of initiative, you must weigh out your risks. Missing this means that your project could run into obstacles that you are not prepared to handle, and this could slow you down or even stop you completely. Therefore, being an effective leader includes the need to measure and assess risk in everything that you do, and to develop the strategies that may be needed to overcome them should they arise.As I continue looking at leadership lessons from Biblical leaders, I come across an interesting event in the record of Gideon. Shortly after he was called by the Angel of the Lord to, "go... and save Israel from the hand of Midian," he was instructed by God to do some other work first. God told him to tear down the altars and idols to other gods there in his own hometown, and to set up an altar to the Lord (Judge...

Credit and Risk Management in FI/SD
2008-02-07 20:28:00 Credit ManagementPurpose Outstanding receivables or bad debts can have a substantial effect on the success of your company, but with the aid of Credit Management you can minimize your credit risk by defining specific credit limits for your customers. Thus you can take the financial pulse of a customer or group of customers, identify early warning signs, and enhance your credit-related decision-making. This is particularly useful if your customers are in financially unstable industries or companies, or if you conduct business with countries that are politically unstable or that employ a restrictive exchange rate policy. Integration If you are using the Accounts Receivable (FI-AR) component to manage your accounting and an external system for sales processing, Credit Management enables you to issue a credit limit for each customer. Every time you post an invoice (created in FI-AR), the system then checks whether the invoice amount exceeds the credit limit. Information functions...

We continue the discussion in this post extending your knowledge. Below are some proven business risk management tips, especially to newcomers.Don?t waste your money on fields that you don?t know. If doing so do it after some thorough research so that at least you know where your money goes and what the chance of profit. Avoid strategies/businesses which require large upfront investments but high risky and offer low profits. Concentrate on businesses/strategies which are low risky but offer relatively high profits. Start at a small-scale level and exaggerate when it seems profitable, test every strategy before going on big-scale. Hire talented employees and run them on a commission basis, so that they compete with others for their earnings. Be sure with your cash flow. Do not leverage considerably so that it consumes more than your expec...

Uncertainty and Risk differentiated ? Is a Tactical Surprise Preferable to
2007-12-24 22:08:00 Risk management is a relatively new and evolving field. Risk management usually refers to the process of identifying, measuring, controlling, and minimizing uncertainties which may directly or indirectly affect a desired outcome of a system. A great challenge indeed.Any process or procedure we can think of holds many uncertainties. Risk management tries to identify these uncertainties, assign probabilities and possible harm to each and every one and acts to minimize those risks.One of the most counter intuitive questions in risk management basics is: What is the difference between risk and uncertainty? There are actually many differences; some are of the utmost importance to every organization and every manager.When every possible option and outcome is known a decision is said to be taken under certainty. Many academic models assume certainty due to their basic function of explaining and prediction. These are also the standards most models are judged by. The recent retreat from cert...

Risk Management ? Pure Risk and Speculative Risk Explained
2007-12-17 21:49:00 Risk management is a relatively new and evolving field. Risk management usually refers to the process of identifying, measuring, controlling, and minimizing uncertainties which may directly or indirectly affect a desired outcome of a system. A great challenge indeed.Any process or procedure we can think of holds many uncertainties. Risk management tries to identify these uncertainties, assign probabilities and possible harm to each and every one and acts to minimize those risks.Two of the most basic terms used by risk managers are pure risks and speculative risks. All risks are historically associated to one of the two families. Understanding the motivation and reason behind this differentiation is key to taking your first steps in risk management.Every risk is at its base a known series of possible outcomes with possible benefits or harms. Each possibility has a known probability of realization (otherwise it is not a risk but an uncertainty and is dealt with differently).Pure risks...

Subprime Crisis Exposes Deficiencies in Risk Management among Financial Ins
2007-12-05 05:52:00 The recent crisis in the subprime lending market exposed structural deficiencies in the financial system globally, particularly around the area of risk management. New research from TowerGroup finds that many financial institutions continue to view and manage risk in the traditional fashion - as a threat that may bear a negative impact in the future. Lacking a more comprehensive, proactive and integrated view of risk, many institutions mandate narrowly focused risk control and mitigation strategies, and then overreact when unforeseen or damaging events arise. TowerGroup finds that in today's changing world, most financial services institutions are predominantly risk averse. But as the balance between product mix and capital adequacy shows greater variance, business models are becoming noticeably polarized - with progressive institutions understanding and managing risks and financials more holistically. "Risk analyses that are 'siloed' in one area of an institutio...

Risk Management - a random thought on 2% formula for taking risks
2007-11-23 14:27:00 Am I a gambler? Everyone in business & technology development is taking risks. So I believe we all need to learn taking well calculated risks. My gamble refers to the amateurish risks and my involvement with futuristic technologies. It was in 1984 when I worked on the IT prototypes, unstructured search methodology, unstructured fuzzy search methodology, believing great gains which never came. So when you are taking risks in business or in Las Vegas casino, you need to stick to a risk minimisation plan. Nevertheless, I am addicted to understanding and popularizing the newest IT technologies, solution delivery and evolution of search engines, blogging and consumer generated advertising. My financial planning has been less than perfect. May be, I need to develop a more practical and down-to-earth risk taking plan with a calculated risk. That said, I think Las Vegas is more of a fun gambling for me and one should not risk more than 2% of its cash at any t...

Incorporating Business Insurance in Risk Management ? Even for Small Busine
2007-10-04 14:44:00 Risk management is an endeavor in which most successful businesses engage to some degree or another. Whether it be a formal procedure developed at the executive level of a large company, or a more intuitive examination performed by an astute small business owner, assessing and dealing with risk in general is something most businesses do as part of their basic planning. No matter who you are, or what business you're in, avoiding risk management is a risky decision in and of itself.Why insurance exists in the first placeOf course, no major effort in risk management for a business can really occur without taking into consideration the potential for unforeseen harm affecting your operations. Indeed, this is the purpose of insurance in general, and it's certainly the reason why business insurance exists specifically.Are you really engaging in risk management for you're business if you're not taking seriously the kind of insurance you have for that business?
