13 minPRO
1/6

Key Takeaways

  • Enterprise risk management considers portfolio-level risks: correlation, concentration, counterparty, and strategic risk.
  • Risk appetite defines acceptable risk levels; risk limits set maximum exposure to individual risk factors.
  • Regulatory compliance spans fair housing, building codes, environmental, tax, and employment law—each requires documented policies.
  • Even small portfolios benefit from basic governance: risk policy, decision authority matrix, reporting calendar, and incident response plans.
