Steps in Risk Mitigation
Techniques of Risk Mitigation
ajority of investors know that investing comes with risks as well as rewards, and that , overall, the
the risk, the bigger the potential reward. The main concern while making investment in any area
Risk is defined as variation of actual return from the expected return. It has already been
Bpltined that the areas which are inherited with high risk offers high return, But, any individual while
ing his funds tries to estimate the risk associated with his investment and make final decisions of

Systematic Risk or Non-Diversiflable
Systematicrisk are those risk which arises due to factors like economic, sociological, political si
ise factors which are beyond the control of any individual. As it is difficult to anticipate the

siness risk is defined as the variability in the actual earnings of a firm from the
expected earning of the firm. For example, the firm expects to earn a net profit of 12% on the
pital employed but in actual the value turns out to be 8% or 16%, it is said that the firm is
exposed to business risk. The change in actual performance may vary from the expected
Performance due to number of reasons which can be either intemal to the firm or external to the
firm. Accordingly, they are referred as internal business risk or external business risk. Internal
business risk includes situations like discontinuity in production due to labour strike or shortage
of power supply etc, External business risk arises due to change in demand of the product or
change in price of raw material thereby affecting the profitability of the firm. Internal business
‘isk can be managed and reduced by a firm whereas external business risk cannot be easily
managed by a firm,

(% change in market index for a given period)
1 isa ratio of % change in price of stock for a given period to % change in market index for

is Rs 72 when Nifly index is 6650. Therefore , beta of the stock will be
eta = (( 72 ~ 80)/80}/{ (6650 ~ 7000/7000} = 0.10.05 = 2
Beta(B) =
Higher magnitude of beta implies higher volatility of the stock with respect to any change in the

to any change in value of market index. This implies , a stock having beta of 5 will have more
