Risk Attitude

The disposition of an individual or organization toward uncertainty, such as risk-averse, risk-neutral, or risk-seeking.

Definition

Risk attitude is influenced by perception, tolerances, and biases, and shapes risk appetite and threshold settings.

Example

A highly regulated bank is risk-averse and sets low thresholds.

Exam tip

Risk appetite = degree of uncertainty willing to take; attitude describes the disposition.
