Investopedia explains 'Risk Assessment'
Examples of formal risk assessment techniques and measurements include conditional value at risk-cVaR (used by portfolio managers to reduce the likelihood of incurring large losses); loan-to-value ratios (used by mortgage lenders to evaluate the risk of lending funds to purchase a particular property); and credit analysis (used by lenders to analyze a potential client’s financial data to determine whether to lend money and if so, how much and at what interest rate).
