1. Understanding Investment Risks
Investments inherently carry risks, and understanding these is the first step in mitigating them. Common types of investment risks include:
Market Risk: The risk of investments losing value due to market fluctuations.
Inflation Risk: The potential for rising inflation to erode investment returns.
Interest Rate Risk: Changes in interest rates affecting the value of bonds and loans.
Credit Risk: The possibility of a borrower defaulting on debt obligations.
Liquidity Risk: Difficulty in selling investments without significant loss.
