Abstract

Financial risk is often defined as the unexpected variability or volatility of returns and thus includes both potential worse-than-expected as well as better than-expected returns. References to negative risk below should be read as applying to positive impacts or opportunity (e.g., for "loss" read "loss or gain") unless the context precludes this interpretation. The related term "hazard" is used to mean something that could cause harm. As risk carries so many different meanings there are many formal methods used to assess or to "measure" risk. Some of the quantitative definitions of risk are well-grounded in statistics theory and lead naturally to statistical estimates, but some are more subjective. For example in many cases a critical factor is human decision making. This study sample consist 120 respondents who are investors and invest in the securities firm at Batam.
