Career Profile - Financial Risk Analyst


Career Profile


Financial risk analysts are commercially aware communicators who can spot the potential risks to a project or business

As a financial risk analyst, you’ll identify and analyse areas of potential risk threatening the assets, earning capacity or success of organisations in the industrial, commercial or public sector. You’ll also be responsible for predicting change and future trends, as well as forecasting cost to the organisation.

There are high degrees of specialisation within the profession. Risk analysts may work in sales, origination, trading, marketing, financial services or private banking, specialising in:

* credit
* market
* operational
* regulatory.

Financial institutions are required to manage market and credit risks daily. Risk analysts are therefore increasingly tasked with responsibilities touching all four key areas.

An alternative but similar role to a financial risk analyst is that of a credit analyst, in which the creditworthiness of a business is calculated, and a probability of payment determined. Risk analysis is considered by many to be advanced credit analysis.

Types of financial risk analyst

A financial risk analyst’s role is to formalise the process of risk management in an organisation. This involves business decision-making and enabling the process of risk taking.

* Credit risk specialists analyse the risk to the company of its customers not paying for goods or services or defaulting on loans.
* Market risk specialists analyse the risk of outside factors that may affect the share price or the market. They typically work closely with traders to calculate the risk associated with specific trading transactions.
* Operational risk analysts look at the likelihood of risky events, such as system breakdowns and employee fraud.
* Regulatory risk analysts look at the impact that new legislation may have on the company.

Responsibilities
As a financial risk analyst, you’ll need to:

* make recommendations to reduce or control risk, which may involve an insurance strategy
* work with traders to calculate the risk associated with specific transactions
* liaise with underwriters and insurers
* forecast and monitor market trends
* consider proposed business decisions
* conduct research to assess the severity of risk
* conduct statistical analysis to evaluate risk, using software such as SPSS and SAS/STAT
* review legal documents
* present ideas via reports and presentations, outline findings and make recommendations for improvements
* purchase insurance
* analyse a bank’s market position and running figures through complex modelling techniques to find value at risk (VAR) measurements
* carry out quantitative analysis
* use financial packages and software, including portfolio management software
* study government legislation, which may affect a company, and advise on compliance
* protect the organisation’s assets and public image
* develop contingency plans to deal with emergencies.

Salary

* Typical starting salaries for risk technicians are around £23,000.
* Junior risk analysts, with approximately six years’ experience, earn between £29,000 and £44,000.
* At senior/management level (with seven to ten years’ experience), you can expect to earn in the region of £46,500 to £78,000, though this can be higher in London.

Salary levels depend on the size and type of the organisation you work for.

Most organisations also offer benefits packages, including bonuses which can increase your overall income.

Income figures are intended as a guide only.

Working Hours

Working hours typically include regular extra hours, although not weekends or shifts.

What to expect

* The work is mostly office based, although you may need to travel to visit other organisations.
* Jobs are mainly concentrated in cities and large towns.
* With considerable experience, you can set up as a self-employed or freelance financial risk consultant.
* The job involves working under pressure to meet deadlines.
* There may be opportunities to work overseas, particularly if you’re employed by a large international company.

Skills
You’ll need to have:

* strong numeracy, analytical and strategy skills
* good research skills
* planning and organisational skills and problem-solving ability
* IT competence and computer literacy
* negotiation skills
* written and oral communication skills
* the ability to explain complex issues and present technical information clearly
* commercial awareness
* the capacity to work independently and cope with pressure and responsibility
* a professional approach to work, integrity and respect for ethics
* the confidence to relate to a range of people and to challenge people when necessary.

Career prospects

There are good career prospects in the field of risk analysis. Progression rates and routes vary according to the type and size of employer you work for, and you may need to move between organisations to progress. There may be a more structured career route in large organisations with opportunities, for example, to move into a management role.

A typical career path in a large financial institution might be:

* credit risk analyst
* senior credit risk analyst
* risk manager
* senior manager or managing director.

Risk consultancies offer the opportunity to move into the lucrative area of consultancy and many offer graduate programmes in risk management.

Opportunities also exist to move from risk into more general finance roles.

Corporate governance initiatives and a more restrictive and expensive insurance market have given risk analysts a higher profile within organisations. The importance of the role of risk professionals is increasingly being recognised, with risk managers gaining places at senior management level and as board members.

Grading & How it Works

The UK has a unique higher education grading system. Its most unique feature compared to traditional grading systems is that it aims to be more specific in describing students’ academic achievement.

This type of assessment method is highly valued because it offers many advantages. Most importantly it highlights your academic strengths and specific skills, therefore, it helps employers gain a better understanding of your true potential.

Since it is proved to be such an efficient tool to assess students’ performance, many foreign countries like Canada, Australia and India are using the same grading system on some occasions with small changes to fit into their own local educational context.

We use a letter grade scale from A to F to indicate the students’ academic performance. If you get an A it means you have shown outstanding knowledge whereas if you get an F it means your score is not sufficient to pass the exam.
