Post financial crisis, financial firms of every shape and size began to place a higher level of importance and scrutiny on their risk management practices. Sell-side firms have had to contend with a significant increase in governmental oversight, thereby creating a large demand for risk professionals within every level and function. Buy-side investors have demanded that funds intensify their risk management efforts, cementing risk as a significant voice in the investment process. Throughout, Options Group has worked with smart firms from both side of the street to aggressively staff their risk management teams in response to these new market demands.

In addition to recruiting traditional risk management, regulatory and compliance professionals, firms have had to increase spending on technological support for these businesses. As Options Group has always been a leader in financial services technology, we have been instrumental in building out risk management technology practices for both sell and buy-side firms.
