The Different Types of Risks in Investing

Frank J. Fabozzi and Francesco A. Fabozzi

Chapter 2 in Fundamentals of Institutional Asset Management, 2020, pp 27-42 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: Throughout this book, we will use the word “risk”. An Internet search on the word “risk” shows results in excess of 42 million. With respect to investments, clients typically view risk as the potential that there will be a negative outcome relative to what was expected. As we will see, that is too general a definition of risk. Here, we will explain the various types of investment risk which will be discussed further in later chapters.
