The prevailing wisdom is that risk is a bad thing. Just ask those bankers who suffered through the failures of the last banking crisis and the corporate credit union problems, or who are dealing with the current problems resulting from the energy sector downturn.   Prevailing wisdom, however, is wrong. 

​

It's difficult to be a high performing financial institution, to consistently exceed the performance of your peers, and meet the expectations of your shareholders, without taking risk. Risk is the essential element of the business of banking.  It is, instead, the inadequate management of risk that is the problem.

 

Unfortunately, financial institution managers have not been as successful at managing risk as they’d hoped.
