# Risk Management

## Risk Management isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity to your business

Inadequate risk management can result in **severe consequences** for companies as
well as individuals. Risk management is the process of **identification**, **analysis**
and either **acceptance** or **mitigation** of uncertainty in investment decision-
making.

It’s essentially a two-step process — **determining** what risks exist in an investment
or portfolio, and then **handling** those risks in a way best-suited to your investment
objectives, and overall risk tolerance. Risk management occurs everywhere in the
financial world.

At AGENCYNAME, part of what we do with every single client is identify situations
that could pose as threats to your financial future through planning, research, 
and execution.

## There are several ways to handle risk management:

 * Risk Assumption
 * Risk Retention
 * Risk Transfer
 * Risk Avoidance

When you think about all of the variables working against your financial wellbeing—
increasing taxes, inflation, and market volatility, having an advisor who thoroughly
understands the risk management approach and process is an invaluable asset to your
financial plan.
