News about risk management

Ms. Nguyen Thi Binh Minh, Director of the Business Center at Mirae Asset Vietnam Securities, says a common mistake is focusing on stocks that have fallen the most rather than assessing business quality and prospects. According to MoneyGain, as of 25 October 2026, 513 companies had reported third-quarter financials, with combined profit rising 16.4% year on year even as many share prices fell. The VN-Index's P/E was about 12.3 times on 23 October, or 10.3 times excluding Vingroup. The share of stocks trading above their 50-session moving average reached 44.33%, the highest since March 2026, but remained below 50%. Ms. Minh stresses risk management, saying a 20-25% portfolio cap per stock is only a reference limit.

The Chartered Risk Management Institute of Nigeria (CRMI) called for mandatory risk management reporting by Nigerian-registered organisations and dedicated risk units across MDAs at its 25th anniversary conference in Lagos. CRMI President Kevin Ugwuoke said risks are interconnected and that identifying risks and documenting controls is no longer sufficient, while Dr. Blaise Ijebor of the Central Bank of Nigeria urged risk managers to assess fiscal and monetary policies. PenCom Chairman Opeyemi Agbaje described risk management as a strategic tool for protecting value and improving decision-making. The institute also announced an Executive Risk Management Certification programme with Lagos Business School, following its chartered status under Act No. 39 of 2022.
