Risk Management

ISDA’s Risk Management Team works with members, regulators and policy makers to develop rules which ensure that appropriate, prudent and risk sensitive capital charges are applied uniformly to the various financial risks faced by the industry. The group continually seeks to define best practice in each area and assist all stakeholders in achieving this.
