Risk Profiles

A risk profile of an investment or a project takes into account all the types of risk an investor or company faces when considering whether to invest or to fund a project. The profile can be qualitative, quantitative or a combination of the two, but it ultimately has to offer unequivocal guidance on how to proceed, with upsides and downsides, optimal entry points, valuations, expected returns, probability estimates and risk appetite all factored in.
