U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Investor.gov

Claims Supported by This Source

  1. In finance, risk refers to the degree of uncertainty and potential for loss associated with an investment decision. The higher the risk, the higher the return investors demand to compensate for it.
  2. The types of risk listed are business risk, market risk, inflation risk, interest rate risk, and liquidity risk.
  3. On average, large-cap stocks as a whole experience a loss in approximately one out of every three years.
  4. The FDIC insures deposits up to $250,000 per depositor, per bank. The FDIC only insures deposits; it does not insure securities or mutual funds.
  5. SIPC covers securities in an account for up to $500,000, including $250,000 in cash, if a brokerage firm fails, but does not cover losses from a decline in value.
