When answering this question, it's important to demonstrate a structured approach to risk assessment and mitigation. Start by explaining the key types of risks you consider (e.g., market risk, credit risk, operational risk, etc.). Discuss the tools and methods you use to identify and assess these risks, such as financial modeling, scenario analysis, and due diligence. Provide examples of how you have successfully mitigated risks in past investment decisions. Highlight your ability to balance risk and reward, and your commitment to thorough analysis and prudent decision-making. For example:
"In my previous role, I approached risk assessment by first categorizing the potential risks into market, credit, and operational risks. I used financial modeling to quantify these risks and scenario analysis to understand their potential impact. For instance, in one investment, we identified a significant market risk due to potential regulatory changes. To mitigate this, we engaged in extensive due diligence and consulted with industry experts to better understand the regulatory landscape. This allowed us to make an informed decision and structure the investment to minimize exposure to this risk."
