Global Risk Opportunities

The Global Risk Summer Analyst Program assigns interns to teams across seven distinct types of risk. Internship opportunities provide exposure to the following risk types, defined below:

1. Strategic

• Risk to current or projected financial condition arising from incorrect assumptions about external or internal factors, inappropriate business plans, ineffective business strategy execution or failure to respond in a timely manner to changes in the regulatory, macroeconomic, or competitive environments in the geographic locations in which we operate

2. Market

• Risk that changes in market conditions adversely impact the value of assets or liabilities or otherwise negatively impact earnings. Market risk is composed of price risk and interest rate risk

3. Credit

• Risk of loss arising from the inability or failure of a borrower or counterparty to meet its obligations

4. Compliance

• Risk of legal or regulatory sanctions, material financial loss or damage to the reputation of the company arising from the failure of the company to comply with the requirements of applicable laws, rules and regulations or our internal policies and procedures

5. Liquidity

• Risk of the inability to meet expected or unexpected cash flow and collateral needs while continuing to support our businesses and customers under a range of economic conditions

6. Operational

• Risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes or systems, people or external events

7. Reputational
