    Over time, investment markets move up and down as does the value of your investments. If you have many years over which to invest, you may be prepared to take on more risk. In this situation, with more time to ride out any short-term fluctuations in investment returns, you have the opportunity to benefit from the higher expected returns offered by growth investments such as shares. The price of any particular share can fall unexpectedly and dramatically without much or any notice, however, the practice of diversification can lessen this risk. So if one does fail, the value of your overall portfolio should only be affected slightly. For more information please refer to the relevant fact sheet titled Investment Risk and Return Whilst we would all love to find a perfect investment which has low risk and high returns, the fact is that this doesn't exist because risk and return are positively related. This means that the lower risk investments – while good for peace of mind – will generally provide a lower long-term return than a high risk investment.
