INGIM's risk management philosophy balances business risk with the interests of clients and the shareholder.

Business Risk Team and Risk Governance
INGIM has a dedicated Business Risk team who undertake continuous reviews of the risk management process and the results achieved. Our governance structure is designed so there is both senior management and executive oversight over the risks associated with managing portfolios.

INGIM’s objective is to deliver performance returns in an active, disciplined and risk controlled manner across the economic cycle. Therefore regular reviews are undertaken involving performance attribution, portfolio style, portfolio risk and cross-checking process signals versus portfolio holdings. Risk management is applied through all stages of the investment process.

 

Equities
The risk system used enables the portfolio managers to monitor a variety of risk statistics. The risk system is a particularly useful tool in understanding the appropriate level of risk for the assessed level of return and the efficacy of the portfolio construction.

Fixed Income
Risk management is integrated into INGIM’s proprietary portfolio analytics system which provides key portfolio statistics and allows scenario analysis to measure risks with changes to the underlying portfolio before positions are implemented. Each portfolio is managed in accordance with specific guidelines with risk management being applied at all stages of the process, including duration, credit quality and other investment restrictions.
