Investment risk & return

Overview

FAQs

Description

In this module, we take you on a journey to imagine and visualise the relationship between risk and return, those quarrelsome and often misunderstood siblings of the investment world. You will see them in an entirely different light by the end of this trip.

We discover the many-sided nature of this relationship through imagination, visualisation, simulation and analysis. We learn that risk and return are euphemisms for fear and greed, and that far from being a scary monster, risk is the driver of return: without risk, there is little or no return. Risk is best viewed through statistics and event probability, visualised as a range of probable return outcomes around an average value.
