About the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP) 

Who We Are

Founded in 1996, the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP) is a not-for-profit independent association consisting of over 77,000 individuals around the world who are involved in financial risk management. Members come from over 150 countries, and work in regional and global banks, asset management firms, insurance companies, central banks, securities regulators, hedge funds, universities, large industrial corporations and multinationals.

What We Do

We help our members throughout their journey in financial risk management by offering a comprehensive platform of programs and resources.  As a center of excellence, our offerings of professional continuing education, training programs, certifications, job resources, publications, conventions, chapter meetings and a valuable network of like-minded professionals, are world class.

One of our core strengths is the active involvement from some of the world’s most renowned financial risk professionals in the academic and corporate sectors. They voluntarily offer their expertise and vision as we develop new programs and enhance our existing ones. To them, implementing GARP’s vision has become a passion, and making a positive difference has become their profession.

Our talented staff of employees, located in New York and London, work hard to provide a rewarding member experience.  We constantly look for ways to improve on delivering and developing our products and services.
