We at DUX Capital prize efficient and well controlled business processes and state-of- the art information systems to support and sustain our complex business processes.

Our technological infra-structure is built to ensure business continuity as well as total redundancy and disaster recovery. Built around state-of-the- art cloud computing infra-structure in partnership with industry leaders.

Systems & ProcessesWe place a high strategic value upon Risk Identification and Management. Accordingly, we adopt a very structured approach to Risk Management building

upon the extensive experience and expertise of our team:

Risk identification involves the investment Committee, appropriate stakeholders, and includes an evaluation of environmental factors, organizational culture and the investment business plan.

Identified risks are assessed to identify the range of possible outcomes. Qualification will be used to prioritize the risks.

The probability and impact of occurrence for each identified risk are assessed by the Investment Committee using qualitative risk analysis processes

Risk Management

Analysis of risk events that have been prioritized using the qualitative risk analysis processes and their effect on business activities are quantified

For each risk, one of the following approaches are selected to address it:

Avoid – eliminate the threat by eliminating the cause

Mitigate – Identify ways to reduce the probability or the impact of the risk

Accept – Nothing will be done

Transfer – Make another party responsible for the risk (buy insurance, outsourcing, etc.)
