This theme of an increase in risk appetite was evident

Das kann man doch sicher weglassen und einfach schreiben "steigende Risikobereitschaft"?

Yes:


Explanation:
I'm all for simplicity, but then it can also depend on how much the writer wants to impress his audience with "garbage"!

it depends on context


Explanation:
Without more context it's difficult to say. The two things are certainly different - the increase in risk appetite is a described fact, the theme of the increase in risk appetite refers more to the fact that people who are writing or commenting on it keep coming back to the fact. It says something about the perception of or the importance of the increase.
