Assignment:
This is an individual assignment. Read Chapter - Housing Associations. Select TWO of the associations for your assignment. Use the specific names such as Greensquare, Ability, etc. The information was created in 2013 from actual cases. Investigate the two associations selected by searching online for updated information. You can find these same associations using an Internet search engine like Google and search each for additional updated information.
For each of the two housing associations selected please answer the following questions.
1. What are the biggest risks facing each association. In addition to information in the book, consider events that have taken place in the world since the book was written.
2, Review the list of products in the Background" section (page 119-120). Rate their potential risks and returns for each association. The rating should consider how they stack up against the association's charitable aims, viability constraints, and association's operating environment. Are there any that should be eliminated? Are there products that should be added?
3. In the light of the association's financial position and its charitable aims, evaluate the risk appetite of the association. Is one of the generic strategies listed in the Sector Issues" section (pages 120-122) appropriate for the association? If not, then what is the association's strategy?
