Key risks
Like any successful business we are exposed to a range of risks. These risks, if not managed properly, could lead to the Group failing to achieve its objectives. Some risks, like those inherent in taking active investment decisions on behalf of clients, are the risks we are in business to take. Others, like regulatory and compliance risk, are risks that we seek actively to avoid. The key risks to which the Group will be exposed in the second half of 2008 are substantially the same as those described in the 2007 Annual Report, being market risk, investment performance risk, product risk, human resource risk, business continuity risk and project risk. We monitor more than twenty Group wide risk categories.
