Risk acceptance is the assumption of a risk, typically because its risk-reward profile is attractive and within your risk tolerance. In general, it is impossible to make gains in business or life without taking risks. As such, risk acceptance is a common risk treatment. The following are a few examples:
1. InvestingMost investments involve some level of risk.2. InsuranceThe entire insurance industry is based on assuming risk for a fee.3. DerivativesDerivatives are contracts that derive their value from an underlying entity such as exchange rates. They are often used to transfer risk between businesses for a fee.4. ProjectsProjects are an investment that a business makes to achieve its goals such as launching new products or services. Projects involve risks such as the potential for cost overruns.
5. Business EquityAny equity you own in a business is typically at risk. Such risks are accepted in return for potential profits from the business.
