Risk

In everyday speech, the term risk has a negative connotation. The opposite holds true in financial theory: Risk in this sense denotes a deviation from expected value increases.

The positive opposite of a “risk” is a “chance”. In wealth management, the terms “risk profile”, “risk capacity” and “risk tolerance” are often used.

Investors are prone to a large number of risks.
