Integrated and Independent Risk Management Framework
Risk management is fully embedded across the investment lifecycle and functions independently from portfolio management to ensure objective oversight and disciplined risk-taking. The framework is designed to preserve capital, control downside risk, and support consistent, risk-adjusted returns across market cycles.
Core Risk Controls
Interest Rate and Duration Risk
Portfolio duration, yield curve exposure, and sensitivity to rate movements are actively monitored and managed within predefined limits. Scenario analysis and stress testing are used to assess the impact of parallel and non-parallel shifts in interest rates.
Credit Quality and Concentration Risk
Exposure limits are enforced at issuer, sector, and rating levels to mitigate default and downgrade risk. Credit assessments combine fundamental analysis with market-based indicators to ensure early identification of deteriorating credit profiles.
Liquidity Risk Management
Minimum liquidity thresholds are maintained to ensure the portfolio can meet obligations under normal and stressed market conditions. Liquidity stress scenarios evaluate the portfolio’s ability to withstand periods of market dislocation without forced asset sales.
Counterparty and Settlement Risk
Counterparty exposure is continuously monitored with strict limits in place. Approved counterparty lists, collateral arrangements, and settlement controls are employed to reduce operational and credit risks arising from trading activities.
Regulatory and Mandate Compliance
Ongoing monitoring ensures full adherence to regulatory requirements, internal policies, and client-specific investment mandates. Breaches are escalated immediately, with corrective actions implemented in a timely and transparent manner.
