25 - Are You Afraid of Risk… or Just Volatility?

After nearly a year of The Retirement Lounge, Nick introduces a new Educational Series, designed to simplify financial concepts that are often misunderstood. In this first instalment, he tackles one of the most confused terms in investing: What's the difference between risk and volatility? They're often used interchangeably, by investors, the media, even regulators. But they are not the same thing. If you've ever felt uneasy during market falls, this episode will help you understand whether you're facing real danger, or just temporary noise. Connect with Nick Hutchings
