Risk
Financial institutions face a number of different risks that expose them to possible losses. These risks include credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, insurance risk and operational risk.
Risk-adjusted assets
Used in the calculation of risk-based capital ratios. The face value of assets is discounted using risk-weighting factors in order to reflect a comparable risk per dollar among all types of assets. The risk inherent in off-balance sheet instruments is also recognized, first by determining a credit equivalent amount, and then by applying appropriate risk-weighting factors.
