Concentration Limits

Definition

Concentration limits are regulatory thresholds restricting the maximum exposure an entity can have to a single asset, counterparty, or market segment. These parameters aim to reduce systemic risk by preventing excessive reliance on any one component within a financial system. They function as a risk management tool, promoting diversification and mitigating the potential for large losses from isolated failures. Adherence to these limits helps maintain overall market stability.
