Know the risks

Risks associated with equity investing

Equity offers significant opportunity, but it’s essential to understand the risks that come with it.

Market risk

The overall market can decline, affecting even well-performing companies.

Company-specific risk

A stock may perform poorly due to management issues, competition, or an industry downturn.

Liquidity risk

Some stocks can be hard to sell quickly without affecting the price — especially smaller, less-traded ones.

Inflation risk

Though equity can hedge inflation, unexpectedly high inflation can still erode returns.
