RiskMetrics Group's 9 Rules of Risk Management™   remind us to be transparent, because risk should be fully understood. Know what you don't know and question the assumptions you make. Communicate, because risk should be discussed openly. And use common sense – it is better to be approximately right than to be precisely wrong.

To accomplish this, risk managers must first understand the models and data that lie beneath their risk analysis. RiskMetrics Group provides educational courses by experts and top risk practitioners from across the firm - Research, Development, and Risk Advisory Groups. The instructors have actual experience in trading and risk management, in addition to a deep understanding of RiskMetrics processes, methodologies, and products.

RiskMetrics Education consists of risk workshops segmented by market. This allows us to focus on the needs of the clients, as well as provide a classroom environment that fosters interaction with others from the same industry. Currently, we have offerings for the Hedge Fund industry and Asset Managers, with courses in development for investment banking and corporate treasury operations. Other segments can be developed in response to client demand.
