Most people misunderstand risk — and it's costing them.
In this episode, Tre breaks down how the financial industry defines risk (hint: it’s mostly about volatility) and why that approach often leads investors astray. He explains the many types of risk that matter more than short-term market swings, and how to manage them with evidence, not emotion. If you've ever said "I'm a low-risk investor," this one's for you.
You’ll learn:
- Why the standard definition of investment risk is flawed
- What standard deviation actually tells you (and what it doesn't)
- How “low-risk” funds can lead to high-risk outcomes
- The real risks most investors should be worried about—like liquidity, inflation, and longevity
- How proper planning reduces investment risk more than picking the “right” fund
