From the Paper:

"Risk comes from the uncertainty of future events. Effective risk management involves the understanding of the risks associated with the various areas of the business and the associated operating environment. Investments are primarily exposed to foreign currency, interest rate volatility and credit risk. The Royal Bank of Canada has set formal policies and procedures that establish an asset mix among equity, fixed income and real estate investments; require diversification of investments within categories; and set limits on the size of exposure to individual investments and counter parties. In addition derivative financial instruments are used, where appropriate, to assist in the management of these risks."
