More can be said about risk, especially as to its nature, when we own more than one asset in our investment portfolio.” Define risk and explain how risk is affected if we diversify our investment by holding a variety of securities?
Thanks :)

Risk in investment terms is defined as the probability of a loss occurring or the actual return is lesser than the expected return. Risk can be diversified by holding a variety of securities. For example, those investors who have a higher risk appetite may invest in high risk stocks in anticipation of high returns. However, if the returns do not meet expectations then the investor may suffer a total loss. In this case, the investors may invest in bonds and T-Bills that are generally risk free to cover for the loss. Also, in other view if an investor is risk averse he may choose to invest more in risk free assets and invest also in stocks to have appreciation of the assets.

Risk is the potential for an investment to generate more than one return. A security that will produce only one known return is referred to as a risk- free asset, as there is no potential for deviation from the known expected outcome. Investments that have the chance of producing more than one possible outcome are called risky assets. Risk, or potential variability...
