Risk appetite.

Conservative financial and operational strategies are those in which only the lowest levels of risk are acceptable.

Examples include:

  • Lending only to the very strongest credits, with substantial collateral.
  • Using very little debt, or no debt, in the corporate capital structure.
  • Maintaining large reserves and large amounts of high quality liquid assets.
  • Hedging a high proportion of, or all, material financial risks.


Also known as 'prudent'.
