The principal role of the Department
The principal role of the Department is to support UK companies exporting to foreign markets by providing insurance, loans and guarantees against non-payment or non-performance by UK exporters and overseas buyers. To perform its statutory function, UKEF must assume significant credit risks on behalf of UK exporters. Consequently, the financial success of the Department is crucially dependent upon sound credit risk assessment, particularly given the elevated default risks associated with emerging markets.
The Risk Management Group
The Risk Management Group (‘RMG’), under the leadership of the Chief Risk Officer (‘CRO’) is responsible for the management of UKEF’s risk portfolio, including new business credit risk assessments. RMG operates via 5 Divisions, responsible for Enterprise Risk Management, Risk Assessment, Analysis (Pricing & Portfolio Risk, Operational Research & Analysis, and Economics & Country Risk), Portfolio Management, and Restructuring, Claims & Recoveries.

About Active Portfolio Management
The APM Branch identifies packages and transfers UKEF risk with financial intermediaries. Once transactions have been approved, APM monitors risk concentration and explores methods to reduce portfolio risk. APM works closely with all aspects of the business to develop a co-ordinated strategy to optimise UKEF’s use of funds. APM delivers two key benefits: increases capacity under country limits; and reduce the likelihood of cash-calls on the exchequer. APM supports UK exporters and ensures this is carried out in the most cost-efficient way.
