IMPORTANT INFORMATION JOCHBERGERSTRAßE would like to remind anyone visiting this website risk accompanies financial assets. Equities, government bonds, futures, foreign exchange, options, derivatives, contracts for difference and other financial assets involve risk. The level of risk varies depending on the asset. Risk refers to the uncertainty of an outcome from trading or investing in a financial asset. It implies the outcome could result in a financial loss. We will briefly outline the four principal types of financial risk. Credit risk refers to the potential loss when a borrower fails to fulfil payments. Market risk occurs when the value of a portfolio declines due to changes in market risk factors. Liquidity risk refers to the loss incurred from the inability to sell an asset and leave a market. Operational risk examines the potential organisational loss incurred from failure from employees, technology, corporate processes or an external factor.
