17 Key Conclusions if There has been an increased focus on all aspects of investment risk management over the past months as the operating environment has become increasingly uncertain The investment risk management process must consider risk before, during and after investing - risks before investing have regained attention lately given the significant change in the risk landscape The key requirements for a comprehensive risk management framework are technology & information, robust processes, the right expertise, a risk conscious corporate culture and independence & segregation of duties - this requires scale, resources and commitment through the cycles Source: FIL Limited, September
