A high-risk investment is characterized bya. a greater percentage chance of lossb. superior prospects for short-term gains.

c. a smaller percentage chance of lossd. lower interest and compounds interest rates.

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. A high-risk investment is characterized by a greater percentage chance of loss. It is one where there is either a large percentage chance of loss of capital or underperformance, or a relatively small chance of a devastating loss. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

I believe the answer is: A. greater percentage chance of loss

An investment would be categorized as 'high risk' if either the market is really volatile, or the it is extremely difficult to predict the profit and loss.

This would make the value of an asset could be extremely inflated or suddenly dropped and become worthless within a short period of time, which create greater percentage chance of loss.
