- Inflation;
- No fencing;
- Lack of diversity.

Investment risk refers to the potential for losing some or all of the original investment or not achieving the expected financial returns. It encompasses various types of risks, including market risk (fluctuations in market prices), credit risk (borrower’s default), liquidity risk (difficulty in selling the investment), and inflation risk (diminished purchasing power). The degree of risk varies with different investment types; for instance, stocks are generally riskier than bonds. Investors must consider their risk tolerance, financial goals, and investment horizon when assessing risk. Proper risk management, diversification, and thorough research can help mitigate these risks, aiming for a balance between potential returns and the investor’s capacity to withstand potential losses.
