๐น A. What is Risk in Investments?
Risk is the possibility of losing your invested capital.
Common types of risks:
-
๐ Market Risk – Prices fall in the market.
-
๐ต Currency Risk – Fluctuations in exchange rates (for example, USD/UZS).
-
๐ฆ Liquidity Risk – Hard to sell an asset quickly.
-
โ ๏ธ Company Risk – The company you invested in may go bankrupt.
๐น B. How to Reduce Risks?
โ 1. Diversification
“Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”
๐ Spread your investments across:
-
Different asset classes: stocks, cryptocurrency, real estate, bonds
-
Sectors: technology, healthcare, energy, etc.
-
Countries and currencies
โก๏ธ If one asset drops in value, others may rise and balance it out.
โ 2. Set Stop-Loss Orders
A stop-loss order automatically sells an asset if its price falls below a certain level.
Example: Sell an asset if its value decreases by 20%.
โก๏ธ This helps to limit your losses.
โ 3. Know Your Risk Profile
| Investor Type | Risk Level | Recommended Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Conservative | Low | Bonds, dividend stocks |
| Moderate | Medium | Mixed portfolio (stocks + crypto) |
| Aggressive | High | Cryptocurrencies, startups |
โ 4. Build an Emergency Fund
Set aside 3–6 months of living expenses in cash for emergencies.
โก๏ธ This prevents you from being forced to sell investments in a crisis.
๐น C. How to Build a Balanced Portfolio? (For Beginners)
Example portfolio:
-
40% – Stocks (local and international)

๐น D. How Often Should You Rebalance Your Portfolio?
๐ Review your portfolio every 6–12 months:

Are there new investment opportunities?
โก๏ธ If needed, rebalance the portfolio (restore the proportions).
