Risk-Reward Analysis in Investment

Activity Description

In this interactive worksheet activity, students will learn to evaluate and compare the potential returns and risks associated with various investment options over a 30-year horizon.

The investment schemes covered are:

1. Savings Account
2. Certificate of Deposit

5. Venture Capital Investment

each with its own risk and returns. Students will find out that high-risk schemes can give a very high return over a 30-year period but they have a high chance of losing the entire investment money.
