About FRM

FRM is the gold standard in risk management certification and is designed specifically for this profession. Financial Risk Manager (FRM) is a professional designation and is offered by GARP® (Global Association of Risk Professionals™) to investment professionals who complete one examination (exams take place once a year in November).

The exam is a practice oriented examination. Its questions are derived from a combination of theory and “real-life” work experience. You will learn to understand risk management concepts and approaches and how they would apply to a risk manager’s day-to-day activities.

What is Financial Risk Management?

Financial risk management is the practice of creating economic value in a firm by using financial instruments to manage exposure to risk, particularly credit and market risk. Similar to general risk management, financial risk management requires identifying the sources of risk, measuring risk, and plans to address them. As a specialisation of risk management, financial risk management focuses on when and how to hedge using financial instruments to manage costly exposures to risk.
