Asia-Pacific Risk Management’s clients are many and varied but the common thread is the underlying financial market risks that they naturally assume through their various business activities.

These financial market risks need to be evaluated to clearly understand the impact these risks may have on their earnings, cash flows and financial statements. Not understanding these risks may have a material impact on issues such as; dividend policy, share price, financial covenants on bank funding and debt capital market issues, governing legislation, regulators, Trustees and credit rating agencies.

Typical financial market risks relate to liquidity risk, funding maturity risk, wholesale market interest rate risk, foreign exchange rate risk, commodity price risk, counterparty credit risk, treasury operational risks, investment management risks and asset & liability risks.

Clients span a range of sectors throughout the economy. A selection of sectors include; retail, manufacturing, food, fishing, wool, finance, local government, forestry, infrastructure, property, electricity, entertainment, mining, energy, fruit and wine export, investment, transport, machinery and goods import, tourism, media, health, agritech, dairy, and construction.
