2 Reflection Three Systematic and Unsystematic Risk You are the chief risk officer for a company, and you have been tasked with identifying the areas where your company is exposed to systematic and unsystematic risks. Based on the information you learned about this concept, what approach would you take in explaining how systematic and unsystematic risks affect risk planning? Describe  your approach. Name 3 or more systematic or unsystematic risks your company might face. Think of the implications if your company decides not to be initiative-taking and plan for these risks. As a chief risk officer for your organization, you can be tasked with identifying the areas that your company is exposed to systematic and unsystematic risks. To identify these risks, you need to know what systematic and unsystematic risks are. Systematic risks are the risks that result from contributing factors that are outside of the organization’s control. These risks can be considered routine and are brought on by external factors outside of your organization that impact the organization. Examples of systematic risks can be found in market risks, interest rate risks, purchasing power, and exchange rate. Unsystematic risk, also known as company-specific risk, is a term used to describe risks that are brought on by internal business factors. Organizations that have a variety of investment types will help to minimize risk and help to control the types of risks. Residual risk, specific risk, nonsystematic risk, and diversifiable risk are examples of unsystematic risk. System risk is the financial risk that is constantly evolving in a market impacting everyone involved in the market. The market’s overall risk is determined by the direction of the market. The company can be doing well overall and the price per share could drop if the market is experiencing a decline.
3 Market risks make up about two-thirds of the total number of systematic risks. The systematic risk market has a high-risk rate; since internal rate risks are a risk that is adjusted according to the market value interest rate, it will manifest as systematic risk. Two ways to examine the overall interest rate risk. Fluctuations in the security’s interest rate are linked to the cost of risk and the reinvestment rate, which is determined by dividing dividend income by the reinvestment interest rate. Reinvestment risk would increase or is now positive if the price risk has decreased, which is reflected as negative. The risk associated with inflation is the risk to the organization’s purchasing power. As inflation takes place the company’s capacity to buy massive quantities of goods declines because the cost of a single good has increased. When there is inflation in the economy an investor’s rate of return does not rise with inflation. The investors’ rate of return falls over the long term. The organization does not plan for these risks and can face financial risk and could lose investors. To ensure the risk is minimized before encountering it is important to evaluate any potential outcome and adjust the organization’s strategy, as necessary. Although as most organizations know you are not able to eliminate all risks, reducing them can help to minimize the impact on the organization.

4 experts who are seasoned investors that can offer advice or consulting. The investors can offer access to additional resources like legal or tax matters and access to a variety of connections with the communities who are able to discuss different ideas and investments. Being able to run improvement ideas by other members of the community to see if it will benefit your organization or what their experience was with this situation could help you to save time and money for your organization. Having different viewpoints and different opinions can help you to make an educated and informed decision. You have access to larger amounts of capital when you use venture capital for your start up. It allows you to not have monthly payment requirements or make a pledge of personal assets. When working with more experienced investors you may have more access to increased publicity and exposure, possibly assisting with future funding. On the flip side the disadvantages to using venture capital for start-up are also quite impressive. One disadvantage is the fact that other people have ownership over your organization. Having investors to run things by can divert your attention away from just running your organization the way you would like to. Finding venture capital can be difficult to find and costly in the long run. You will be required to set up a board of directors for your organization will create a high expectation for your organization’s growth. You can be at risk of losing your organization and it lowers your leverage during negotiations. It would be my recommendation that if you choose to use venture capital for start up you investigate and research the company you are choosing to invest in. Know the facts and be clear about the expectations you have from them, and they have for your organization. Go in this contract fully informed and with confidence is demanding what you want for your organization. But also know that there will be areas of compromise and you will have to give up some control when necessary and for a good cause. You are going to have the ability to start your organization
5 and you will be starting your organization with the support of investors who believe in your organization.
