Absolutely nothing. Nada. Zip. No-risk investments are not a reality.
Investing inherently carries a risk, so when you hear the term no-risk investment, definitely have your guard up, because there is no such thing as a no-risk investment! Irrespective of what you are investing in, however safe it might be, it will still carry some amount of risk. This is true for almost all the financial assets that are a part of your portfolio.
Don’t believe us? Google it. “What is a no-risk investment?” “No risk investment meaning.” “Can I invest with no risk?” Any permutation of search words related to “no-risk investing” will only direct you to a whole bunch of articles and information about low-risk investing and some links about Fixed Deposits, considered to be ‘no-risk’ only because banks guarantee the maturity amount at the end of the Fixed Deposit’s tenure.
Did you try it? So, now you know we at Deciml know what we’re talking about and are not making this up. And now that we have your attention, we’d like to tell you a little bit about the varying levels of risk that most investment opportunities carry.
