The KRM22 Capital Markets Risk Sentiment Index, compiled by Acuiti, is a measure of how senior executives perceive a variety of risks facing their business, how prepared they are to deal with them and where firms are investing in risk management. Cyber Risk topped the list of risks followed by market risk and compliance readiness for new regulations. Internal technology risk and regulatory monitoring and reporting also featured in the top 5 risks facing firms.
The inaugural report found differences between company types as to how different risks are perceived. Market risk was the top concern for banks and proprietary trading firms and cyber risk for the buy-side and brokers. The biggest mismatch between the extent of the risk and the ability to mitigate it was seen in cyber risk while internal technology risk also presents a significant challenge for firms when it comes to their ability mitigate risks they rate as high or critical.
