Credit Risk assesses, permissions, and manages credit and counterparty risks on an industry, client, geographic, and transaction basis. Credit risk is defined as the risk of loss arising from the default of a client or counterparty. Credit exposure arises through underwriting, lending, and trading activities with and for clients and counterparties, as well as from a range of operating services such as cash management and clearing activities.

The Credit Risk function identifies, measures, limits, manages, and monitors credit risk across our businesses. The teams are typically aligned by industry. Credit Risk is independent within Corporate Risk Management, reporting to the firm’s Chief Risk Officer (CRO). Our practices are designed to preserve the independence and integrity of decision making.
