Pls Briefly explain these four. 1. The process of assessing overall risks can be difficult and balancing resources to mitigate between risks with a high probability of occurrence but lower loss versus a risk with a high loss but lower probability of occurrence can often be mishandled. Ideal risk management should minimize spending on manpower or other resources and at the same time minimize the negative effect of risks. 2. DEFAULT RISK - is related to the probability that some or all of the initial investment will not be returned. The degree of default risk is closely related to the financial condition of the company issuing the security and the security's rank in claims on assets in the event of default or bankruptcy. 3. LIQUIDITY RISK - is associated with the uncertainty created by the inability to sell the investment quickly for cash. An investor assumes that an investment can be sold at the expected price when future consumption is planned. As the investor considers the sale of…
