Summary

We continue our investment masterclass and this week we’ll be looking at risk and return. We covered this last way back in session 16 but I think it needs to be revisited in the particular context of risk when investing. So stay tuned, because your investing education continues shortly…

Introduction

Risk is an unavoidable part of investing. The two go together like, well, two things which are meant to go together. Like Andy Murray and Kim Sears, perhaps. It isn’t a very pleasant word though, RISK. It’s a horrible four letter word that most people would like to avoid if at all possible, but it isn’t possible, so you might as well learn to work with it.

And that’s the point. Risk is something to be harnessed. It is to be understood and then set free to do its thing, and in doing so your returns should be more predictable and rewarding. With risk comes reward, as sure as night follows day, if you get it right.

0:52.4	The weather is lovely, or at least it is when I'm recording this, which is about 10 days before it comes out.
0:54.9	So it may not be lovely when you're listening to this, but that's the whole time shift thing going on again. But anyway, we're continuing
0:59.1	talking about investment. We started last week a bit of a master class, which I think is going to last
1:03.6	five weeks in total. But there are going to be a couple of gaps in between where I've got to visit
1:07.6	some other things. So we're on this for a little while yet. But this
1:11.7	week specifically I want to be talking about risk and return. Now, we covered risk way back
1:18.5	in session number 16, where I was chatting with my friend Richard Allum, probably not quite,
1:24.6	but maybe the first interview I ever did on this show. But I think we need to revisit it anyway, and particularly revisit risk in the context of risk when investing, given that that's the subject of a masterclass.
1:34.9	So, session 16 was a bit more general than that.
1:37.6	So I want to be quite specific today.
1:38.8	So stay tuned, folks, because you're investing education, continue shortly.
