RISK

The possibility of losing money with an investment. It is typically measured as the variability (volatility) of the past performance of a financial instrument or an asset. There are no risk-free financial instruments, although some are safer than others, such as savings deposits, insured up to €100,000 per person per bank, and government securities (BOTs, BTPs and CCTs with a remaining maturity of less than 12 months).
