The management of risk in the Bulgarian companies is not yet purposefully developed; the established systems for its management are not adapted in the majority of the economic structures. The necessity of studying the principles of the so-called “risk management” and their use in practice can be justified by many objective and subjective factors, such as: insufficient coverage of the risk in the specialized scientific and popular literature; ignoring it, as a whole, because of not knowing it well; lack of sufficient experience in the representatives of the executive bodies for management in terms of risk; its disregarding in the legislation, etc. The fact that the risk is sometimes an original stimulus for the efficient use of the company capital could be added as an argument of the topicality of the problem related to the management of risk. In this context, the article presents the specifics of the risk in company investment activities and focuses on the goal when managing the investment risk - preventive maintenance of the conditions under which an investment project is implemented and non-admission to realize a risk situation.
