Beginners’ guide to risk and investment goals

This guide …

No investment is free of risk including investing in cash. This is because inflation can eat away at the real value of your money. Because of this, you need to make sure, if nothing else, you’re aiming for a return on your money that’s more than inflation.

But, to varying degrees, many investments carry the added risk that you could lose all your money. This guide aims to show the different levels of risk some types of investment carry.
