Careers in Risk Management
On completing the degree, you will be well prepared to follow a career in the challenging fields of risk management, or risk analysis with banks, regulators, portfolio managers, corporate treasury, risk management software implementation, specialist financial boutiques and hedge funds.
The role of risk analyst will suit students with good mathematical or computational skills, who wish to utilise cutting-edge quantitative modelling techniques to develop advanced risk assessment and hedging tools. Less quantitative roles include: regulation; market, credit or operational risk management; portfolio management; and enterprise-wide risk management.
Most of our FRM graduates are now working for large banks in London and abroad, hedge funds and regulators. Demand from employers continues to grow, despite the crisis in banks and associated financial institutions. Regulators, governments, advisors and commentators are unanimously endorsing the call for more, and better qualified risk managers and analysts to join the financial industry.
There has never been a better time to pursue a career in financial risk management.
