Risk management is the process of identification, analysis and acceptance or reduction of uncertainty in investment decisions. With our extensive knowledge of both market risk and project risk across Africa we work closely with funders and investors and assist them in making decisions.
 

A common definition of investment risk is a deviation from an expected outcome.

 

At Betts Townsend Taylor we recognise that developing and frontier markets can provide attractive returns for investors and funders, however, without a good understanding of local conditions there will be a greater degree of risk. Our focus is to mitigate that risk and safeguard outcomes so that clients can realise their expectations.
