Detailed explanation-1: -If you have large cash assets and few liabilities, you’re better positioned to take on risk. Modern financial planning utilizes two independent risk scores: risk capacity and risk willingness. Risk capacity is based on your investment objectives, initial investment amount, and time horizon.

Detailed explanation-2: -High-risk investments may offer the chance of higher returns than other investments might produce, but they put your money at higher risk. This means that if things go well, high-risk investments can produce high returns.
