Risk taker (also in German; sometimes also risk taker)

Individuals (“finance strategists”) or companies who, especially in the case of options transactions, take on high risks or uncertainties without a second thought. As financial history teaches, such vabanque operations always end sooner or later in the bankruptcy of the risk taker. – Market participants and, above all, globally active funds that – by way of loan securitization, – via credit derivatives or by other means – assume certain credit risks on a businesslike basis, in this case often also called fixed rate payers. – Employees in banks who have a decisive influence on the risk profile of the institution. – See investment courage, barefoot pilgrim, stock market player, footfisher, shorn, credit derivative, reintermediation, risk investor, risk taker, risk transfer, risk transformation, banking, risk assumption principle, risk taker, speculator, submarine effect, securitization, compensation system, appropriate, perception bias.
