What are the risks?
Investing can be one of the best ways to build wealth for the long-term, but here are some things to keep in mind when creating your portfolio:
Business risk
Returns from any investment requires that the company stays in business.
Volatility risk
Stock prices may fluctuate up or down based on factors inside the company, political events, or market events.
Inflation risk
Inflation reduces purchasing power and may erode returns for people investing in cash equivalents.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate changes can affect the business operations, profits, and losses of companies in many sectors of the market.
Liquidity risk
The potential lack of market availability of an investment you want to buy or sell quickly can reduce potential gains but increase potential losses.
