Results The research reviews the main objectives of risk management, its specifics in the internet trading. We provided the mechanism for risk management in the stock market. The risk identification includes an assessment of its level and tolerable threshold for the entity. The key condition for insurance requires setting aside earmarked funds and spending their resources solely on losses in preliminarily agreed circumstances. Conclusions and Relevance Risk shall mean a probability that the financial result of investment will differ from the expected one. There are no perfect securities, which would be absolutely safe in terms of risk, and generate a stable income. The dynamics of the risk level and yield directly correlates. Currently, the level of threats in the market is higher than the level of probable yield. The Russian market is regarded to demonstrate low liquidity, since national stock exchanges and securities are underestimated as opposed to global ones. They are interesting for foreign investors, but geopolitical difficulties aggravate the situation.
