Explanation

Risk tolerance is defined as the willingness to accept varying degrees of risk. It reflects how much uncertainty or potential loss an individual, team, or organization is prepared to endure in pursuit of objectives. It is not about capability (ability to manage or mitigate), but about attitude and willingness toward accepting risk. This distinguishes it from risk capacity (what you can absorb) and risk management (how you handle it).
