Which is true about investments and risk?

Investments involve uncertainty: their value or return can change, so even investments considered relatively safe carry some risk. Low-risk investments do not necessarily earn high returns, and high-risk investments do not usually fail; they simply have a greater chance of loss as well as potential gain. Safe investments are not guaranteed to be profitable in every situation. Therefore, “Every investment carries some degree of risk” is true.
