Aggressive

Risk appetite.

More aggressive financial and operational strategies are those in which higher levels of risk may be acceptable, if they appropriately rewarded.

Examples include:

• Being willing to lend to borrowers other than very strongest credits, for an acceptable additional yield.
• Using relatively more debt, in the corporate capital structure.
• Taking a more selective approach to hedging financial risks.
