Risk Aggregation

Definition

Risk aggregation is the process of combining and evaluating various individual risks to determine an entity’s overall risk exposure. This technique involves systematically collecting, analyzing, and consolidating data on different types of risks, such as market, credit, operational, and liquidity risks. By viewing risks holistically, financial institutions can gain a comprehensive understanding of their total risk profile and its potential impact on capital adequacy. Effective risk aggregation is crucial for robust risk management and regulatory compliance.
