Best University in Malaysia for Top UK Dual Award Degree in Finance, Investments and Risk Management at Asia Pacific University (APU)

What is Risk Management?

After I finished my SPM, I felt confused about my further study. Because of Eduspiral, I am able to pursue my studies at Asia Pacific University. Eduspiral, was so patient to answer all my questions and even brought me to visit the university when I went to KL alone. Jeremy Lee, APU scholarship student

In the world of finance, risk management refers to the practice of identifying potential risks in advance, analyzing them and taking precautionary steps to reduce/curb the risk.

The process of identification, analysis and either acceptance or mitigation of uncertainty in investment decision-making.

Essentially, risk management occurs anytime an investor or fund manager analyzes and attempts to quantify the potential for losses in an investment and then takes the appropriate action (or inaction) given their investment objectives and risk tolerance. Inadequate risk management can result in severe consequences for companies as well as individuals.

For example, the recession that began in 2008 was largely caused by the loose credit risk management of financial firms.

Simply put, risk management is a two-step process - determining what risks exist in an investment and then handling those risks in a way best-suited to your investment objectives. Risk management occurs everywhere in the financial world. It occurs when an investor buys low-risk government bonds over more risky corporate debt, when a fund manager hedges their currency exposure with currency derivatives and when a bank performs a credit check on an individual before issuing them a personal line of credit.

When an entity makes an investment decision, it exposes itself to a number of financial risks. The quantum of such risks depends

Asia Pacific University (APU) achieves excellence in the SETARA 2011 Ratings with a Tier 5 ranking

on the type of financial instrument. These financial risks might be in the form of high inflation, volatility in capital markets, recession, bankruptcy, etc.
So, in order to minimize and control the exposure of investment to such risks, fund managers and investors practice risk management. Not giving due importance to risk management while making investment decisions might wreak havoc on investment in times of financial turmoil in an economy. Different levels of risk come attached with different categories of asset classes.

With a clear understanding of investments and risk management, graduates are able to beat out the thousands of banking and finance graduates out there to secure jobs in investment firms and international banks. Well trained banking and finance graduates are able to command high salaries and furthermore there are many jobs out there in Malaysia. Students interested in this course can also consider related courses such as actuarial science, insurance or accounting and finance with forex and investment.
