* In simple terms a risk point represents the amount of gain or loss that would result from a given movement in interest rates. In some cases this is a fixed movement, e.g. 1 per cent.,in others a changing estimate of likely movements is used which is regularly adjusted in the light of recent expirical data. The bank will have an overall risk point limit which will often be sub-allocated to different profit centres.

* However, some warranties and indemnities have the character of guarantees and should be treated as credit substitutes (full risk).
