  Risk!  
10.10 – 11.15 "The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we hit it." Michaelangelo

Trustees are constantly reminded they must guard against risk. We ask three professional advisers from different backgrounds to outline ways in which risk can impact on their clients. Anticipation and planning are a key element in guarding against risk.
