Know Investing & Measured Risks
The New Indian Express Thiruvananthapuram
|July 14, 2025
While investing, you need to take some risk. Measured risk—what does it mean?
Taking measured risks while investing involves balancing potential rewards with the likelihood of losses, aligning your decisions with your financial goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon:
Understand your risk tolerance and goals
Assess risk tolerance: Evaluate how much loss you can handle emotionally and financially. Younger investors or those with stable income might tolerate more risk, while retirees may prefer safety.
Define goals: Clarify your objectives (e.g., retirement, buying a home, wealth growth) and time horizon. Short-term goals (1–3 years) require lower risk, while long-term goals can handle more volatility.
