However, the returns can be far above average when an investment succeeds. An investor must ensure that only a portion of the total capital is considered risk capital.

The process of identifying, analysing, accepting, or mitigating uncertainty in investment decisions. It occurs when an investor or a fund manager tries to calculate potential losses of an investment and then takes the appropriate action given the fund's investment objectives and risk tolerance.

A principle that states that potential returns increase with an increase in risk. Investments that carry a higher degree of uncertainty or risk are associated with higher returns, while investments with lower risk are associated with lower returns. In simpler terms, the Risk-Return Tradeoff suggests that an investor can only earn higher profits if willing to accept the possibility of losses. Therefore, investors must evaluate how much risk they are willing to take to achieve their desired return on investment.
