When investing, the general rule is this: The greater the risk, the higher the potential reward and vice versa. Given that relationship, there is no free lunch in investing. Investors who choose low risk investments may earn meager returns, while investors who seek higher returns through high-risk investments may suffer big losses. This lesson helps students understand those relationships. It includes five types of risk and compares them with the risks-rewards associated with some of the primary investment tools. In general, it provides an overview of the modern investment world.
