Service

What is the true downside of your current portfolio?

Codingcanvasq's risk management service quantifies exposure precisely so that your protection strategy is built on evidence, not assumptions.

Quantifying risk before committing capital

Our risk management engagements begin with measurement, not product selection.

Before any protective structure is recommended, our analysts map the existing portfolio across five risk dimensions: market risk, liquidity risk, concentration risk, currency risk, and counterparty risk. Each dimension is stress-tested against three historical scenarios drawn from actual East African and global market dislocations. The output is a risk register — a slate-professional document that assigns numerical exposure scores to each dimension and establishes the priority order for mitigation. Clients receive a clear picture of where their capital is most vulnerable and what the quantified cost of inaction would have been across each scenario. This process typically requires two to three weeks and concludes with a formal presentation of findings and mitigation options.

What the risk management service delivers

Six concrete outputs that remain with the client regardless of subsequent advisory decisions.

Drawdown scenario models

Three calibrated stress scenarios — mild correction, severe market shock, and prolonged drawdown — applied to your specific holdings, with probability-weighted loss estimates for each.

Concentration risk audit

Identification of positions, sectors, or currencies that represent disproportionate share of total portfolio variance, with recommended maximum weight thresholds.

Liquidity stress report

Assessment of how many days it would take to exit each position without significant market impact — critical context for designing a liquidity reserve strategy.

Formal risk register

A documented, board-ready summary of all identified risks, their current scores, mitigation recommendations, and a quarterly review schedule.

What this service does not cover

Honest scope limits are part of responsible advisory practice.

Our risk management service analyses and documents exposure — it does not constitute discretionary management of assets. We do not execute trades on behalf of clients, custody assets, or guarantee that identified risks will not materialise after mitigation measures are in place. Market conditions change faster than any review cycle, and our risk register reflects the portfolio as it stood at the assessment date. Clients who require discretionary execution should discuss a full advisory mandate. Additionally, the service is designed for portfolios with a minimum of KSh 10 million in investable assets; smaller holdings are better served by general financial planning providers.

“The risk register Codingcanvasq produced for our investment committee was the clearest documentation of our actual exposures we had ever seen. It replaced three years of informal assumptions with hard numbers. We made four structural changes within a month of receiving it.”
