Macquarie’s approach to risk management is long-standing. Strong risk management practices are embedded in business unit management with central oversight of credit, market, funding, compliance and operational risk. These, together with committed, quality staff, are key drivers of Macquarie’s success.

Management approach

Macquarie's strength lies in its unique structure and management style, which enable businesses to exercise significant operating freedom balanced by limits on risk and observance of professional standards.

Macquarie's management approach fosters an entrepreneurial culture among staff. Strong prudential management is fundamental to this approach. The focus of central management is on risks to Macquarie arising from market and industry influences and issues of medium- and long-term significance.
