Define Risk:
Risk is the chance of loss or the variability of returns or uncertainty associated with a given asset
Return is the total gain or loss expected - or experienced - by the owner of a financial asset or
investment over a given period of time. Returns are of two types:
¨ Receipt of the promised coupon and principal payments on the scheduled dates.
¨ Potential capital gains or losses on the sale of the bond prior to maturity.
Higher Risks = Higher Yields.
