The Center for the Financial Community

Our Company

In the beginning, we defined the language of risk. Today, we are redefining it.

Originally founded upon a measurement of market risk in a portfolio, RiskMetrics Group is now the recognized standard in financial risk management.

But our capabilities don’t end there. We extend our view of financial risk to include consideration of corporate governance, compliance, accounting, legal, transactional and sustainability risks.

As a proven leader in risk management, corporate governance and financial research & analysis, RiskMetrics Group works to continuously innovate around these disciplines to address a broad spectrum of risk for financial institutions and corporations worldwide.

At RiskMetrics Group, we work every day to make risk transparent and we leverage our expertise, our people and our passion to connect the world’s financial community.

Our Role

Fostering connections that drive innovation in risk management

At RiskMetrics Group, we are extremely passionate about what we do and the role we play in improving the world's financial markets.

Financial markets are opaque. And so, at RiskMetrics Group, we help investors and other financial market participants better understand and manage the risk inherent in their portfolios so they can make more informed investment decisions. While we embrace and leverage risk as a tool for more effective asset management, we also view our role in the market as something bigger.

RiskMetrics Group sees itself as the center for the financial community, connecting investors that influence the financial success and thus livelihoods of asset owners.

Our Vision

By encouraging transparency and access for all market participants, and providing a forum for collaboration across market participants, RiskMetrics Group fosters connections that drive innovation in risk management. Our vision is simple:

To improve financial markets by bringing transparency, expertise and access to all market participants.
