Both LHV Group and LHV Pank have established Risk and Capital Committees (jointly referred to as the Risk and Capital Committee) whose task is to monitor the implementation of the risk management policy and the capital management policy on the LHV Group consolidated level and LHV Pank level, respectively. The Risk and Capital Committee reviews regular risk reports, the processes ensuring capital adequacy, capital plans and the largest clients with high credit risk. The Risk and Capital Committee has at least three members who are elected from among the members of the Supervisory Board of LHV Group and LHV Pank, respectively, which is why Madis Toomsalu only belongs to the Risk and Capital Committee of LHV Pank.

The Chairman of the Risk and Capital Committee is paid 1,000 EUR, and the member of the Risk and Capital Committee is paid 500 EUR for each attended committee meeting. The members of LHV Group and LHV Pank’s Risk and Capital Committee are paid the above fees in total for both committees, except in the case of Madis Toomsalu, who does not get any remuneration for the performance of the official duties of the committee member. No separate additional pay or performance pay or bonuses have been established for the committee members.
The jurisdiction of the Risk and Capital Committee includes
- advising and supporting the Supervisory Board on the risk management principles and risk tolerance,
- supervision of the implementation of the risk management principles by the Management Board in accordance with the instructions of the Supervisory Board,
- checking of the accounting of business model and risk management principles in the fees set for clients and, in the event of any deficiencies, submission of an improvement plan to the Supervisory Board,
