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'.
