Balancing risk & reward
All investment involves a degree of risk. It’s important that you understand and are comfortable with, the risks you're taking before making any investment choices.
Investments that offer the potential for higher rewards often come with higher risks, which means there’s a greater chance of losing your money.
With lower-risk investments there is less chance of losing your money, but the potential for reward will usually be less.
