On a monthly basis, our independent Risk Management group prepares analysis and meets every fund management team to review their portfolios. The Head of Risk Management has a direct reporting line to the Chief Financial Officer to ensure that the group’s findings are treated with appropriate gravity.

A range of models are used to ensure that portfolios are managed within appropriate levels of risk. Risk managers also analyse the systematic risk factors in portfolios such that fund managers are aware of all sources of risk. Actions required to eliminate inadvertent or excessive risk are identified and implemented with respective fund managers.

Aviva Investors aims to stay in the forefront of risk management methodologies and the Risk group is charged with monitoring academic and market developments in the field of risk management, and with testing new methodologies and models as they emerge in the market.
