Risk management is targeted at protecting our capital base and supporting our value-based management.
As a provider of financial services, we consider risk management one of our core competencies. It is therefore an integrated part of our business processes.
Risks arise for a number of reasons, including insufficient information concerning possible adverse developments affecting our business targets or plans.
We identify, measure, aggregate and manage risks. The result of this process determines, among other things, how much capital is attributed and allocated to the Allianz Group’s various segments.
