Understanding Risk & Reward

Master the forces that drive returns and the risks that can derail them. You’ll learn volatility, drawdown, correlation, and sequence risk; how diversification and time in the market change outcomes; and how to choose a risk level you can live with. We translate statistics into everyday decisions: sizing positions, setting guardrails, and knowing when to rebalance. Frameworks help you separate luck from skill and avoid behavioral traps so you can keep compounding through uncertainty and stay on track for long‑term goals. Further resources, worksheets, and checklists are included to help you move from reading to doing with clarity, confidence, and consistency.
